In her divorce filing, Lawrence requested the court’s ability to award spousal support to either herself or Sipes be terminated.
Prior to their marriage, both Lawrence and Sipes were involved with other contestants from their respective reality shows. Lawrence dated Joey Joy from “Too Hot to Handle”, while Sipes was linked to Leslie Golden from “Love Island USA”.
The couple celebrated their two-year anniversary in December 2023, with Sipes posting a tribute to Lawrence on Instagram, calling her his “best friend” and “wife”.
The divorce comes as a surprise, as the couple seemed to be happily married based on their social media activity.
However, recent posts by Lawrence suggest there may have been cracks in their relationship, as she has been noticeably absent from posting about Sipes on her Instagram and there is no evidence of a wedding ring in her recent posts.
