Jillian Lauren Shriner Files for Divorce from Scott Shriner
Jillian Lauren Shriner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, has filed for divorce after nearly two decades of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences in court documents submitted this week in Los Angeles. The couple, who wed in November 2005, share two adopted sons, ages 17 and 13, and Lauren Shriner is seeking joint legal and physical custody along with spousal support for herself while requesting that the court deny such support to her husband. She also asked to restore her professional name to Jillian Lauren, her maiden name. No date of separation was specified in the filing, and it remains unclear whether the couple has a prenuptial agreement.
The divorce filing comes amid a challenging year for Lauren Shriner, marked by serious health issues and a high-profile confrontation with police. In March, she publicly announced a cancer diagnosis and underwent two surgeries, including a full hysterectomy. Just a month later, on April 9, she became involved in an armed standoff with Los Angeles Police Department officers near the family's home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood.
