Jesse Williams and Aryn Drake-Lee’s relationship timeline
Jesse Williams dated Aryn Drake-Lee for five years before they tied the knot in September 2012. They welcomed two children – daughter Sadie Williams in December 2013 and son Maceo Williams in October 2015.
The couple filed for divorce in 2017 and fought a series of court battles for custody of their children and Jesse’s child support payments.
The Jacob’s Ladder star was ordered to pay more than $50,000 per month in child support along with $50,695 per month in spousal support. He later filed an appeal to fight the order, claiming that he was paying a lot.
The pair finalized their divorce in 2020 and court documents stated that they would share joint legal and physical custody of their two children. Jesse was ordered to pay $40,000 in child support and $100,000 in two spousal support payments to his ex-wife.
The former couple was ordered by a judge in April 2021 to attend a high-conflict parents program. They recently settled their child custody dispute in March 2022 which stated that they would continue to share legal custody of their two kids.
The judge recommended that both of them seek co-parenting counseling as they require a great deal of fine-tuning in their custody and visitation orders, a lot of which cannot be handled by the court.
