In a development that has saddened fans worldwide, acclaimed singer-songwriter Christina Perri has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Paul Costabile, after seven years of marriage. The couple, whose relationship once embodied fairy-tale romance, has decided to part ways, with court documents citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their separation.
The End of a Musical Love Story
The 37-year-old artist, best known for her heart-wrenching ballads including the global phenomenon "A Thousand Years" from the Twilight Saga, submitted divorce papers in Los Angeles County. The filing marks the conclusion of a relationship that began in 2016 and culminated in a beautiful 2017 wedding ceremony that seemed straight out of one of her romantic songs.
Family Matters and Co-Parenting Plans
Beyond the romantic partnership, Perri and Costabile built a family together. They are parents to two children: daughter Carmella Stanley, aged 4, and son Angelo Thomas, who just turned 1. According to sources close to the situation, both parents are committed to maintaining an amicable relationship for the sake of their children.
"Their primary focus remains the well-being and happiness of their children," revealed an insider familiar with the family dynamics. "They've established a co-parenting arrangement that prioritizes stability and love for Carmella and Angelo."
Navigating Personal and Professional Challenges
The couple's journey hasn't been without its challenges. In 2020, Perri experienced a devastating pregnancy loss, which she openly shared with her fans. More recently, the singer has been navigating health issues that required surgical intervention.
Despite these personal struggles, Perri has continued to create music that resonates with millions. Her most recent social media updates have focused on her professional projects and precious moments with her children, showing her resilience during this transitional period.
What's Next for the Artists?
While Costabile, a respected music producer and director in his own right, has maintained a lower public profile, both individuals appear focused on moving forward positively. The divorce petition includes requests for spousal support and legal fees, though specific financial details remain confidential.
Fans of the "Jar of Hearts" singer have flooded social media with messages of support, acknowledging the pain of seeing this beloved musical couple separate while expressing hope for healing and new beginnings for both artists.
