Heidi Montag Files for Divorce, Speidi Could Actually be Done
It looks like the Speidi divorce could be real, as Heidi Montag has filed for divorce from her fellow reality star and husband, Spencer Pratt.
Montag and Pratt, two pseudo-celebrities who made names for themselves on the pseudo-reality show The Hills, have been known to do strange things for attention.
Whether they are crashing premiere parties or bailing out of reality TV shows, it’s always questionable what is real or fake, and what about them can be believed.
What seemed like their latest ruse, however, could turn out to be more of a reality than many thought, as Montag has in fact filed for real divorce in Santa Monica, California, Superior Court, according to People.com.
The divorce filing came several months after Montag went to court to seek legal separation from Pratt. She cited irreconcilable differences in the divorce filing, a commonly cited reason for divorce.
“Heidi has amended her petition for separation and today has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt,” said her lawyer, Jodeane Farrell. “The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner in an out of court settlement. Both parties are amicable with each other and over the possibility of finalizing their divorce.”
Such a tone was widely unexpected, as many speculated that the announcements about their separation were simply the latest in their series of publicity stunts meant to draw attention to themselves and raise the hackles of the celebrity-tracking public.
Even after Montag filed for divorce, there have been rumors circling that the two are living together, acting as though nothing had changed in their lives together.
They put those rumors to rest, however, saying that while they do still spend time together, they were no longer living in the same place. And they aren’t going to get back together.
“We don’t live together,” Pratt told People.com. Montag lives in Malibu, while Pratt spends some time in their Pacific Palisades home.
Montag let the public know that the two were on pretty good terms. “Spencer and I are finally moving forward with our lives,” she said, “but with any divorce there is much to work through. We’ve been together for almost five years—there are assets to divide, work to be discussed, and we share our puppies.”
Montag noted that it hasn’t been an easy process. “This has been a heartbreaking experience to go through,” she said. “We just want different things in life.”
Pratt agreed, in his usual strange way, telling the press that his marriage was “a show. It was part of The Hills world, and that world is on a sound stage.”
He went on to spout even stranger explanations, referring to himself in the third person: “It’s clear that reality TV-fame-loving Spencer Pratt does not fit with my ex-wife Heidi Montag’s ambitions for a motion picture actor/pop star career and being a single sex symbol for the world.”
The couple was married last April, in a Pasadena, California, church.
No word yet on who will get custody of the puppies.
