Inside George and Monika Eads's divorce
George and Monika tied the knot in August 2011, two years after the actor revealed he was in a relationship on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson.

But, four years after saying "I do," George filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The CSI star requested joint physical and legal custody of their daughter Dylan, while Monika asked for sole physical custody. Further contention rose after the two disagreed on their prenuptial agreement.
While the divorce proceedings were dramatic, they were finalized in 2015.
