Julie Bowen has settled her divorce.
The ‘Modern Family’ star split from her husband Scott Phillips – with whom she has Oliver, 11, and twins John and Gustav, nine – in March after 13 years of marriage, and it has now been reported the pair have finally settled the terms of their divorce after being at loggerheads over their finances.
According to The Blast, the 48-year-old actress submitted her judgement package to courts on Tuesday (04.09.18), and after the pair had hashed out a private settlement, the judge in the case signed off on the deal.
During their negotiations, Scott had been seeking spousal support from Julie, but it’s currently unclear what he ended up with.
Julie separated from the real estate investor earlier this year, after having not been spotted on a red carpet together since September 2016 at the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s 47th Anniversary Gala Vanguard Awards in West Hollywood, where Julie joked that the pair were too "tired" to think about getting divorced.
She said at the time: "We watch all these people get married and split up and go, ‘Wait, did they get married after us or before us?’ We outlast all these people. The answer: We’re too tired to do anything else!
"At first I loved my husband and then I loved the kids and now I love our family. When I see my husband with my kids, it makes me so happy. When I see my kids all sitting down at the table together, I’m like, ‘This is awesome. We did this!’"
Julie and Scott celebrated their anniversary on the day of the Emmy Awards in 2016, and the actress revealed that she’d allowed him to stay at home so that he didn’t have to be a "purse holder" on their special day.
She said at the time: "We just had our anniversary on the day of the Emmys which was hilarious. He’s come every year, he’s been so supportive and this year he was playing in a tennis tournament and I wasn’t nominated as an individual so I said, ‘What do you want to do on our anniversary?’ I mean it’s such an honour to be nominated and to go, but it’s tough to be a purse holder."
