Ex-"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lizzie Rovsek appears to be done trying to work it out with her estranged husband as the reality star has finally served him with divorce papers.

Back on October 19, 2017, Lizzie filed for divorce from Christian Rovsek in Orange County court, following eight years of marriage. The couple shares two children together.

There was no movement in the case until April, when the court notified Lizzie that if she didn’t take the necessary steps to progress the case, it would be dismissed. At the time, Lizzie had not served her estranged husband with the divorce documents.

But according to new court documents obtained by The Blast, Lizzie says she has now she served Christian with divorce papers.

In a statement, the estranged couple tells The Blast, "We have been struggling in our marriage for years and have decided to seek divorce.

The statement continues, "We have known each other since we were 22 years old and we have the utmost respect and love for each other. We are trying to navigate this as gracefully as possible. We will continue to have the best interest for our kids and for each other."
