“Big Brother” alums Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett are no longer living under the same roof, and as they move towards getting a divorce, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, sources close to the couple revealed that Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett officially split last week when she filed for a temporary DV restraining order against Memphis and a judge granted her court-ordered protection.
TMZ sources also revealed that infidelity and lying are at the core of the breakup, with Christmas feeling like Memphis is not the person she thought he was when she married him.
The sources also say Christmas has been asking Memphis for a divorce for several months now, and she’s going to follow through soon and file divorce documents.
In the meantime, Christmas has been granted occupancy of the family home in Fort Lauderdale.
According to TMZ, Christmas speaking to the tabloid, said: “It is unfortunate that the actions and intentions of individuals involved in this situation have led to the exposure of personal and sensitive information. I believe that matters of this nature should be resolved in a private and respectful manner. I ask for privacy at this time to focus on my family.”
As for Memphis, sources connected to his camp told TMZ that he, too, suspects infidelity has been afoot, and he believes it’s actually Christmas who’s been unfaithful, including over the past 6 months.
Memphis feels like Christmas made up DV claims to get him caught up with the law and cops did indeed escort him from their home with his son, River, in tow, TMZ resources said.
Memphis told TMZ “My heart hurts. I did not want to have to file for divorce. I was doing everything in my power to work on our marriage. I only wish the very best in life for her and Loyal” her 5-year-old son.
The couple does not have any children together.
Christmas has been going through a lot lately as her baby daddy’s been arrested for allegedly sharing explicit images of Christmas without her permission.
Our sources say Christmas’ custody battle has taken a huge financial and emotional toll and her main concern is her son.
‘BB’ fans will remember Memphis and Christmas first met during season 22 of “Big Brother: All-Stars” when they forged an alliance together.
They confirmed they were an item after the season ended, and in 2022 they got hitched.
