Jaime King’s ex-husband Kyle Newman was awarded sole physical custody of their two sons after the actress was ordered to a six-month rehab program. While Newman and King will still share legal custody of their sons, James, 11, and Leo, 9, the boys will primarily live with their dad. Leo is the godson of Taylor Swift, who has counted King a member of her “girl gang” in the past. King is allowed to see her boys three times a week in hour blocks, but she will have to be watched by a list of approved supervisors. This is because the Hart of Dixie star has yet to complete a six-month drug and alcohol program involving weekly testing, and a 26-week parenting program with individual counseling to address case issues. She will also participate in counseling with her sons when deemed appropriate by their therapist. King and Newman, a filmmaker, had an acrimonious split in May 2020 after 13 years of marriage. In court documents, the actress accused Newman of abuse, and he accused her of being a “chronic drug addict” who is unwilling to seek treatment.
