"Young Sheldon" and "Hannah Montana" star Emily Osment is officially ending her marriage after five months.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday and viewed by USA TODAY, Osment and Jack Anthony have reached a confidential divorce settlement agreement. Both parties agreed to waive their right to seek spousal support.
The news came days after Osment, 33, on Friday filed for divorce from Anthony, whose legal name is Jack Farina. According to the filing, they separated on Dec. 7 after tying the knot on Oct. 12.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Osment and Farina for comment.
In a previous statement provided to USA TODAY, the actress said, "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. Ultimately, it didn't work out."

Osment revealed her engagement in 2023 and said on Instagram that she "did not know life could be this sweet," adding, "This love is so big and so uniquely ours and I know it can do anything," according to People and E!. "I am so honored to stand next to you every day. I love you, Jack."
In an interview with People magazine in May, the "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" star opened up about planning the wedding and said she could not "wait to be married."
"It's so exciting, and we have to constantly remind ourselves, you're only going to do this once," she told the outlet. "So you might look at 1,000 pictures of what looks like the exact same chair, and your wedding planner will say, 'What kind of chairs do you want?' And I'll say, 'Yes, there should be chairs there.' And she'll say, 'No, but what kind of chairs?' And I'll say, 'I don't care. There should just be chairs.' It's a little bit like that.
"A lot of very small decisions that don't seem to matter but on the day, you're going to be so happy that you sat down and went through the tough decision making. Because at the end of the day, you get to be married, and that's the greatest thing ever."
This was the first marriage for Osment, who played Mandy McAllister on the "Big Bang Theory" prequel "Young Sheldon" and is reprising the role on the spin-off "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage." In an October interview with USA TODAY, Osment noted that her wedding would be taking place just days before the "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" premiere.

"I have to say, I had my wedding date first," she said. "And when they said we're starting the show on Oct. 17, I said, 'Why does that date sound so familiar?"
Osment, who is the sister of Haley Joel Osment, is also known for playing Lilly Truscott on the Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," and she has had additional roles on "The Kominsky Method" and "Almost Family."
