Obviously, Bush was very famous and wealthy before entering this marriage and had a prenuptial agreement. The document will outline any transfer of money or property in the case of a divorce. As we reported, Hughes asked the court not to grant spousal support to either party and for them to split the attorney's fees. In other words, this should be a simple breakup.

This story took a huge twist when it was revealed Sophia started dating USWNT star, Ashlyn Harris. The soccer player is in the middle of her own separation, but it's a bit more complicated. In September, Harris pulled the plug on her marriage to fellow soccer star Ali Krieger, but the former couple has two children together. In this case, child custody and support will need to be worked out.

Interestingly, Hughes is publically being very supportive of his ex-wife's new relationship. His representative released a statement to the media, saying, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled."
