Ex-Disney star Emily Osment files for divorce from husband after five months of marriage
A former Disney star has released a statement after filing for divorce from her husband just five months after they exchanged vows.
Actress Emily Osment filed for divorce from her husband Jack Anthony – whose real name is Jack Farina – on Friday, TMZ first reported.
The Hannah Montana star cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for dissolving her marriage with the former tech executive, according to court records viewed by the New York Post.
Osment issued the filing just three days before her 33rd birthday.
“I think with any big decision in your life, whether it’s relationships or work or whatever it may be, you have to firmly plant both feet in that decision,” Osment said in a statement to People. “Ultimately, it didn’t work out.”
The couple seemingly didn’t spend much time together as newlyweds as documents show they separated on December 7, less than two months after saying “I do.”
Osment married Anthony in a private ceremony on October 12, with her older brother, The Sixth Sense star Haley Joel Osment, serving as a groomsman.
The couple doesn’t share any kids, but they do have a prenuptial agreement that states how they will divide their assets.
The filing showed the Young Sheldon actress asked to “terminate the court’s ability to award support to the petitioner and respondent” due to the agreement, which was signed in September 2024.
Osment and Anthony first went public in October 2021 when the actress posted photos of them at a Phish concert.
They announced their engagement in June 2023 in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“This magical, beautiful, kaleidoscope of a person asked me to marry him this weekend,” the actress wrote.
The pair kept their relationship mostly private, but the “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage” star would occasionally feature him on social media.
“He walks into each day with kindness and silliness and a lust for life,” Osment wrote on Instagram in a post celebrating his 40th birthday.
Anthony, also a musician, studied at the University of Virginia, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He worked at the e-commerce platform Spring (formerly TeeSpring) and was the head of strategic partnerships at Linktree until July 2024, when he enrolled at the Chef Apprentice School of the Arts.
Osment rose to fame by playing the best friend, Lilly Truscott, of Hannah Montana – played by Miley Cyrus – on the hit Disney show from 2006 to 2011.
The actress later scored a leading spot on the sitcom Young & Hungry, before landing a recurring role on Young Sheldon in 2022 and the Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage spin-off.
