“American Idol” creator Simon Fuller is going home — but maybe not to the one he once knew, as wife has filed for divorce after 17 years of marriage.
Natalie Swanston filed the documents on Friday, which she also listed as the date of separation, according to court records obtained by TMZ. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the deterioration of the marriage.
She’s seeking joint legal custody of the couple’s three kids — a 14-year-old and 9-year-old twins — and wants spousal support from the 14-time Emmy nominee, who most recently was estimated to be worth around $600 million (£445 million).
Per TMZ, Swanston requested the court block spousal support to Fuller.
The filing comes roughly a week ahead of Fuller’s birthday on May 17, and it’s unclear exactly what led to the split or how long Fuller and Swanston have been on the outs.
TMZ reports that the pair — who said “I do” in May 2008 — had a prenuptial agreement in place, thought its terms are not yet clear.
Fuller, a British producer once named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People, is also known for creating “So You Think You Can Dance” and managing the Spice Girls during their rise to fame in the 1990s.
