Jaime King’s Husband Austin Sosa Files for Divorce Following Secret Marriage

Actress Jaime King, known for her role in Hart of Dixie, is facing the end of her second marriage as her husband, investment banker Austin Sosa, filed for divorce on January 22, 2026, according to court records and reports from TMZ and other outlets. The couple had kept their relationship relatively private, with their engagement announced in July 2025. At that time, King’s representative expressed gratitude for fan support and highlighted the positive bond between her children and Sosa’s family, noting that her sons remained her top priority. The pair reportedly married in a secret ceremony at some point after the engagement, though the exact date has not been disclosed. The marriage lasted only months before the filing. King, 46, has emphasized privacy throughout this period, particularly concerning her two sons, James (12) and Leo (10), whom she shares with ex-husband Kyle Newman. Her previous marriage to Newman, which began in 2007, ended with a divorce filing in 2020 and finalization in September 2023 after a contentious process. In March 2025, Newman was awarded sole physical custody of the children, while the parents continue to share legal custody, with Newman holding tie-breaking authority on decisions. Sources previously described King’s relationship with Sosa and his family as a source of stability amid her personal transitions, including temporarily staying with his parents. Neither King nor Sosa has issued public comments on the divorce filing, and reasons for the split remain undisclosed, though some reports mention recent rumors involving King and another individual. King continues to prioritize her role as a mother during this transition.
