Laura Prepon and Ben Foster have finalized their divorce settlement, revealing significant details about their financial standings and custody arrangements. The couple, who were married for six years, separated in September 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. Their divorce was officially settled on April 14, 2025, approximately six months after they initially parted ways.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly and In Touch, Prepon, 45, boasts a gross monthly income of $70,509.92, while Foster, 44, earns $22,205.50 per month. This financial disclosure has drawn attention, particularly with Foster agreeing to pay Prepon $5,500 in monthly child support for their two children, a seven-year-old daughter named Ella and a four-year-old son whose name remains undisclosed.
The couple's custody arrangement is outlined in the settlement, stipulating that Prepon will be the primary residential parent, with the children living with her for 227 days of the year, and Foster having them for the remaining 138 days. They have also agreed to split the costs of tuition and school-related expenses, ensuring that their children will attend private school.
The road to this settlement was not without its challenges. Foster initially filed for divorce on September 9, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. In a twist, he later amended his filing, accusing Prepon of "inappropriate marital conduct" and alleging that her behavior made cohabitation "unsafe and improper." Prepon countered these claims, denying the allegations and accusing Foster of "habitual drunkenness," which he has consistently denied.
Despite the contentious nature of their split, both parties have expressed a desire to keep their children's lives as private as possible. Prepon previously shared her views on maintaining their children's privacy, stating, "Everyone is different with [posting] pictures of their kids. No judgment, do your thing. It's a personal thing. But for my husband and I, that's where we do remain extra private, is when it comes to our kids." This commitment to privacy seems to continue even amid their divorce proceedings.
In addition to child support and custody arrangements, the couple has agreed to sell their shared home in Tennessee, which is listed for $4 million. Prepon will receive $977,987 from the net proceeds of the sale, with the remaining amount split equally between them. The settlement also stipulates that they will retain ownership of their respective businesses, with Foster keeping 100 percent of his business, Perfect Bananafish, Inc., and Prepon retaining her company, Laura P. Enterprises, Inc.
Both parties have waived spousal support and alimony, which is notable given the high-profile nature of their marriage. The settlement reflects their commitment to a fair and equitable division of assets, adhering to the terms of their prenuptial agreement signed prior to their marriage.
The divorce has brought to light not only the personal struggles of the couple but also the broader context of celebrity relationships under public scrutiny. As more details emerge, it’s clear that the pressures of fame can complicate personal matters significantly.
In recent months, the entertainment world has seen a flurry of celebrity breakups, highlighting the challenges faced by couples in the spotlight. Notable splits include Savannah Chrisley and Robert Shiver, who ended their nearly two-year relationship in April 2025, and Rami Malek and Emma Corrin, who also parted ways after dating for almost two years.
Similarly, Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader called it quits after a brief romance, while Holly Madison confirmed her breakup with Zak Bagans after six years together. Sia filed for divorce from Dan Bernard in March 2025, just over two years after their marriage, underscoring the often fleeting nature of celebrity unions.
As the dust settles from Prepon and Foster's divorce, both actors seem to be focused on their individual careers and co-parenting their children. The settlement marks a new chapter for both, allowing them to move forward with their lives while ensuring that their children remain their top priority.
In the end, while their marriage may have ended amid controversy, the couple's commitment to their children and their respective careers will undoubtedly shape their futures. As they navigate this transition, fans and followers alike will be watching closely, eager to see how both Prepon and Foster continue to evolve in their personal and professional lives.
