Laura Prepon & Husband Ben Foster Separated Months Before Divorce Filing

Laura Prepon and husband Ben Foster are divorcing after six years of marriage, according to documents obtained by People.

On Nov. 12, Foster filed for divorce from the That 70s Show actress citing “irreconcilable differences” and that they were  “live together successfully as husband and wife,” per People. Foster declared their date of separation was September 9.

According to the filing, the couple did have a prenuptial agreement which Foster asked the court to enforce. The agreement would make an “equitable division” of their marital assets and debt.

The X Men: The Last Stand actor also asked the court to incorporate their “marital dissolution agreement and agreed parenting plan” into their final divorce agreement. The couple are parents to daughter Ella, who was born in 2017 and a son born in 2020 whose name has not been revealed.

The longtime friend started dating in July 2016 and got engaged in October of the same year.

All seemed well with the low-key couple who last stepped out together at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards. In April 2019, the actress opened up about how she and Foster balanced their careers and parenthood on a segment of The MOMS.

Ben and I are really great about if I’m at work, he’s [at home], and if he’s at work, I’m [at home],” she said. “[But] I do feel guilty, and I just know that [Ella would] be proud if she knew. I’ve talked to a bunch of women [asking], ‘How do you do this?’ And they’re just like, ‘There’s really no solution. You just do it.’ ”
