Jaime King's ex Kyle Newman awarded sole physical custody of their children
Jaime King's ex Kyle Newman awarded sole physical custody of their children Jaime King and Kyle Newman's custody battle has come to an end. The "Fanboys" director has been awarded sole physical custody of the couple's two children, according to a March 11 custody order filed in Los Angeles and obtained Tuesday by USA TODAY. The "Pearl Harbor" actress may only have supervised visitation with the children due to not completing a six-month drug and alcohol program, with weekly testing, aftercare and a 12-step program. She still retains legal custody of the children – James, 11, and Leo, 9 – with Newman. USA TODAY has reached out to King and Newman's lawyers for comment. King filed for divorce from the producer in May 2020, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple married in 2007. At the time, the "White Chicks" actress requested joint physical and legal custody as well as spousal support. The divorce was finalized in 2024. The children will live with Newman, and King is allowed supervised visitation two to three times a week in specific blocks, until the court orders otherwise, according to the March 11 filing.
