In papers first obtained by The Blast, Major, 35, calls the marriage “irretrievably broken” and asks the court to set a parenting plan for the couple’s two sons — Landon Major, 5, and Logan Michael, 3. Major is requesting majority custody of the two kids and joint custody in legal matters. She filed the court documents Wednesday in Florida, where the two live. The former entertainment reporter is also requesting child support and alimony from Michael, 58, as well as legal fees. Michael gave a statement to The Blast in response to the filing and his ex asking for legal fees.

Florida prosecutors did not file charges, citing insufficient evidence. The pair got engaged in 2010 and married in October 2014.
