In a surprising turn of events, Seann William Scott, known for his role as Steve Stifler in the popular film franchise 'American Pie,' has filed for divorce from his wife Olivia. The 47-year-old actor cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause for their breakup, as revealed in court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
Scott and Olivia, an interior designer based in Los Angeles, tied the knot on September 21, 2019. However, their marriage sadly came to an end just over four years later, with the actor listing October 2, 2023, as their date of separation in the filing. Despite their decision to part ways, Scott and Olivia are committed to prioritizing the well-being of their 3½-year-old daughter, Frankie Rose, born in June 2020. Scott has requested joint legal and physical custody of their child.
The court documents also mention that spousal support will be provided to Olivia based on the terms of their prenuptial agreement. This indicates that the couple had taken measures to protect their individual financial interests prior to their marriage.
As news of the divorce spreads, fans may remember Scott's previous engagement to former Victoria's Secret model Lindsay Frimodt back in 2012. Although that relationship didn't work out, it seems Scott is determined to find happiness in his personal life.
Beyond his personal matters, Seann William Scott has made a name for himself through his comedic performances. The character of Steve Stifler, which he portrayed in the 1999 film 'American Pie' and its subsequent sequels, remains one of his most famous roles. Reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the film, Scott shared with PEOPLE that Stifler was a 'fun character to play.' He also explained how the success of the R-rated comedy genre during that time helped solidify his position in the industry, even though he had aspirations of exploring more dramatic roles.
In related news, back in February, Scott listed his five-bedroom home in Venice, California, with an asking price of $4.9 million. It appears that the actor is making significant changes in his life, both personally and in terms of his living arrangements.
While divorce is undoubtedly a difficult process for anyone to go through, we hope that both Seann William Scott and Olivia can find the strength and support they need during this time. As fans, we will continue to appreciate Scott's talent and look forward to seeing him in future projects.
