The divorce’s finalization also arrives almost six months after Mowry initially filed the motion.

As The Shade Room previously reported, Mowry made the move in October 2022. At the time, she reportedly did not list the couple’s date of separation in the filing. However, she allegedly asked the judge to terminate spousal support for herself or Hardrict, citing that they had a prenup.
