In new court documents obtained by The Blast, Aja Volkman claims that the former couple separated almost a year ago in August 2022. She is requesting that the singer pay her attorney's fees but feels that they need more time to determine their separate and community property before they proceed with the divorce.

However, she is agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their young children. The former couple shares four children: daughter Arrow, 10, twin daughters Gia and Coco, 5, and son Valentine, 2.

The former couple has been making headlines for their rollercoaster relationship ever since they split in 2018. They eventually reconciled and even wrote a song together called "Bad Liar" after repairing their relationship.

The former couple met while they were both students attending Brigham Young University in Utah. They started dating and got married soon after in a private ceremony in Las Vegas in 2011.

In December 2022, Dan Reynolds and “Friday Night Lights” actress Minka Kelly were spotted packing on the PDA during a lunch date (via Page Six). The couple visited Millie’s Café in Los Angeles and sat at a table outside the restaurant.

The actress was photographed putting her hands on his buttocks as she leaned in for a kiss. The couple made headlines a month before while spotted on yet another date and going out for a walk together. During the walk, Reynolds was holding Kelly’s hand close to his chest.

Minka Kelly was previously linked to former “The Daily Show” comedian Trevor Noah, although their two-year relationship came to an end last May. At the time, a source told PEOPLE that Kelly is “very happy” with the decision to end the relationship, adding, “She’d rather be single than waste her time with the wrong guy.”
