Jurnee Smollett-Bell, 33, is back on the market after filing for divorce from musician Josiah Bell, 37, after 10 years of marriage.
A source tells Us Weekly that the “Birds of Prey” actress dropped off the paperwork at the courthouse last week.
There may be a delay processing the divorce paperwork because the COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc on Hollywood marriages.
The couple last posted about each other six months ago on Instagram when Josiah celebrated Jurnee’s birthday.
“In honor of my QUEEN’S special day, I’m going to let a clip from my upcoming EP #psistillloveyou speak for me. @jurneebell ‘You’re my goddess / From a touch of heaven’s chosen…’ I love you my baby. Happy Birthday!”
The couple haven’t made a public appearance together since 2018.
Jurnee opened up about her relationship with Josiah in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
“We were best friends before we started even dating, so we had this really great foundation. I think one of the challenging things about any lasting relationship is that you have to be so vulnerable. I think as human beings we try to hide our flaws and try to present this perfect person, this person we wish we were to our spouse when that causes so many troubles.”
Jurnee’s brother, Jussie Smollett (Empire), returned to social media days ago after a nearly one-year absence.
