However, things went south after the birth of their son. After three years since William was born, in 2009, the couple started living separately. It was as if they agreed upon a divorce even before their divorce reached the courts.
And it took Matt seven years after living separately to file for divorce with Molly. Molly’s husband filed for divorce in October 2016. He stated in the divorce documents that ‘irreconcilable differences’ was the reason for their split, and also filed for joint custody of William.
