Foster previously filed to divorce Prepon in September 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple had been married for six years, going back to their 2018 nuptials. The two had a brief courtship, as Foster had previously been in a relationship with Robin Wright before he began dating Prepon.
He and the Forrest Gump actress — who is 15 years his senior — began dating early in 2012 and got engaged two years later, but they called it off later in 2014.
The couple got back together early on in 2015, but they once again called off their engagement in late August 2015 and broke up for good.
After his engagement to Prepon in October 2016, the couple welcomed their daughter Ella in August 2017, before tying the knot in June of the following year.

Back to her roots: Laura Prepon shows off gorgeous natural hair
Last month, Prepon accused Foster of being ‘guilty of habitual drunkenness‘ in a court filing as part of their now-concluded divorce.
The move followed an amended divorce petition Foster filed earlier in March, in which he cited ‘inappropriate marital conduct’ as a reason for the split.
He claimed that Prepon had submitted him to ‘cruel and inhuman treatment,’ though she denied the claims in her subsequent filing and demanded ‘strict proof’ from her ex regarding his claims.
Despite Foster’s claims, he said both parents with ‘fit and proper’ caregivers.
However, Prepon denied that both were ‘fit and proper parents’ in her response and requested that her home be their children’s primary residence, which aligned with the eventual divorce settlement.
