Janel Parrish and Chris Long are putting the brakes on their marriage after seven years, officially filing for divorce this week. In a surprising yet civil move, they submitted a joint petition to the court, agreeing on spousal support and property division. This amicable approach is a rarity in Hollywood, as many couples find themselves embroiled in a swirl of drama during breakups.
Having tied the knot back in September 2018, Janel and Chris navigated through the limelight together without kids, sidestepping potential custody battles. Although they had been separated for several months before filing, this amicable split shows that even in Tinseltown, some couples can part ways without the usual fireworks. As Parrish continues to shine on Hallmark with her recent projects, will this newfound independence lead to a fresh chapter in her career – and life?
Divorces are often messy, but it feels like this one might just set a precedent for what breakups can look like when love fades. What do you think—is amicability the way to go in a split, or should there always be some drama?
