Darin Brooks and Kelly Kruger are officially divorced.
According to court documents obtained exclusively by Us, Brooks, 42, and Kruger’s dissolution of marriage is effective as of Tuesday, July 28. The soap stars cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Brooks and Kruger, 43, have also entered into a settlement agreement, per the docs. The exes will keep all the cars that are in their respective names and in addition to all their personal property, including furniture, appliances, clothing, jewelry, and any other personal effects.
The pair will keep their financial accounts and retirement assets in their respective names. They will also keep any personal employment earnings they have individually accrued starting at the pair’s date of separation, listed as December 31, 2025.
Brooks will get to keep the cryptocurrencies in his name, but a portion will be transferred to Kruger. The actress, for her part, will keep all inherited assets.
Kruger and Brooks will share joint legal custody and parenting time of their two children, Everleigh, 6, and Gemma, 4, per the docs. The pair waived their rights to receive spousal support and agreed that there will be no monthly child support paid to each other at this time. They are both responsible to pay half the cost of their children’s health insurance and will share costs for other healthcare expenses.
