About the divorce
The report states that Courtney has cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation. The two got married in November 2007 in Santa Barbara and share a 12-year-old son, Leo.

Brandon has agreed to the terms and admitted that there were “irreconcilable differences.”
Brandon will pay the child support, but the details of how much will be paid as part of the child support and spousal support have not been shared.
Official statement
The two took to Instagram to release a joint statement about their decision to part ways. “To everyone who has loved and supported us, we have some personal news to share. After 21 years together and 17 years of marriage, we have decided to begin a new journey, and enter this next chapter of life as friends and co-parents. We are now and forever rooting for each other as we move through this wild adventure called life. Our son is, and always will be, our highest priority and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate this transition. With love and gratitude, B & C.”
In the caption, Courtney mentioned the distressing state with the wildfires in LA and wrote: “We were focused on grabbing our go-bags and evacuating yesterday. It feels ridiculous to post this statement with fires still raging, but an online publication announced our news before we could. We are safe, but in shock and grief for our friends who have lost their homes and businesses. Our hearts break for our community devastated by the ongoing fires. We love you Los Angeles.”
