Amy and Michael were high school sweethearts.
Amy and Mike were high school sweethearts. They made things official in March 2019 when they tied the knot. It didn't take long for the newlyweds to start a family.
Michael and Amy have two boys together.
The couple had their first child, Gage, on Nov. 10, 2020. Having Gage was a big deal, and Amy had to undergo major surgery to get her body ready for it. Pretty soon after having Gage, Amy became pregnant again, and they had their son, Glenn, in July 2022.
However, despite the joyous moments of expanding their family, the couple faced irreconcilable differences. Their relationship shifted after the birth of their second son. Amy has said that she felt alone in her marriage and in raising her sons. She was looking for support and help from her partner, but she didn't get it.
The relationship took a serious turn when Amy moved out in February 2022.
Amy and Michael's relationship faced a significant setback in February 2022. The signs of trouble became apparent when Amy reportedly moved out of their shared home, taking along their two sons, Gage and Glenn. The separation marked a turning point in their relationship.
Michael filed for divorce on March 13, 2023.
After Amy moved out in February and the couple began their separation, Michael filed divorce papers on March 13, 2023. There was no going back for the couple.
The legal documents, exclusively obtained, revealed Michael was the one who filed for divorce. The court entered and honored a civil restraining order, enforcing a 500-feet distance between the estranged couple and prohibiting public discussions about the divorce on social media. All communication was to be conducted through a court-approved app.
It only took six months to finish things up, and the couple was officially divorced on Sept. 6, 2023.
