Big Brother couple Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott have recently announced their decision to end their marriage. Garrett, 41, filed for divorce from Abbott, 42, on March 1, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. The filing also states that no alimony should be given to Abbott.
Just over a week prior to the divorce filing, a domestic violence case related to the couple was filed, although the details and status of the case remain pending. Both parties have refrained from providing extensive comments on the matter, with Abbott expressing her desire for privacy during this challenging time.
Garrett, in a statement, expressed his sadness over the situation, mentioning that he had been actively working on their marriage and had hoped to avoid the divorce. The couple, who met on Big Brother: All-Stars, got engaged in June 2021 and married in May 2022.
Abbott and Garrett had previously shared their excitement about their relationship, with Garrett describing Abbott as his 'forever girl' and Abbott referring to Garrett as her 'best friend and home.'
Despite not having children together, Abbott has a five-year-old son from a previous relationship. The couple had publicly shared their love for each other, with Garrett posting a heartfelt Valentine's Day tribute to Abbott just weeks before the divorce announcement.
As the news of their split surfaces, fans and followers of the couple are left with a sense of surprise and disappointment, given the public display of affection and commitment they had shown towards each other.
