In May, it was reported that Addison had filed for divorce from Jeremy after three years of marriage, with their divorce date set as September 2022.
The reason for their divorce remains unknown, but Jeremy had given his wife a shout-out when she received a Golden Globe just four months earlier.
The couple – who share daughters Ezer Billie, four, and Dolores Wild, three – first met as teenagers on a film set in 2008, and it is believed they started dating around 2013.
Alison gave an interview at the time and revealed she had started a new romance, but did not say who her suitor was.
“I have a lover that I won’t reveal, but yes, he would be the man. We have a nice foundation in that we’ve been friends for a long time, but then it took a hard right turn into romance,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
