'Vanderpump Rules' star Katie Maloney has officially filed for divorce from co-star, Tom Schwartz, after 12 years of marriage.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Maloney filed for dissolution of marriage in the Los Angeles County Court system. In the filing, Katie listed "irreconcilable differences" as the legal cause of their split.

The document is shocking, considering the former couple was spotted over the weekend together, giving many reality star fans hope they had reconciled. The TV stars reportedly got married in 2106, after filing for a marriage license in Las Vegas, Nevada. Interestingly, the couple was together at an earlier date, but never actually filed the paperwork, so they took a trip to Sin City with friends to make it official.

The couple just lived through a very public breakup with Katie opening up about the situation on her podcast, 'You're Gonna Love Me.'

"I know [for] some people [it] may seem like a shock, or it may seem like an abrupt thing, but for us, it's not like we just decided this week or yesterday or the day before," she said.

Adding, "There wasn't some kind of crazy incident that happened, there wasn't some crazy fight that resulted in this," she continued, speaking through tears. "It was my decision, which was probably the hardest and most painful decision I've ever had to make."

Tom confirmed the split on his own Instagram, saying, "Well this sucks. How am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in an f--kin canned Instagram caption. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D-word bc it’s too painful. Yes, my heart aches but I’ll be ok."
