Actress Candice Accola and her husband Joe King are filing for divorce.
Accola is best known for her role as Caroline Forbes on the CW series “The Vampire Diaries.” She married “The Fray” guitarist Joe King in 2014. After seven years of marriage, Us Weekly reported that Accola has filed for divorce.
Candice Accola & Joe King Split Due To ‘Irreconcilable Differences’
Accola, 35, filed for divorce from King, 41, on April 28, almost one month ago, according to court documents obtained by the outlet. The couple reportedly went their separate ways in January due to “irreconcilable differences.” Accola reportedly moved to Nashville, whereas King remains in Brentwood, Tennessee.
The two share daughters Florence, 6, and Josephine, 1. King is also the father to daughters Elise and Ava with ex-wife Julie King. Although Accola and King follow each other on Instagram, they have both deleted photos of their relationship.
“TVD” costar Nina Dobrev reportedly introduced the couple in February 2012 at a Super Bowl party. King then proposed to Accola in May 2013.
In recent photos on Accola’s Instagram account that show her on a girl’s trip in Italy, she can be seen without her wedding ring. She posted photos at a bar in Liverpool over the weekend.
