Stormy Daniels and her husband Glendon Crain are divorcing, lawyer Michael Avenatti announced in a tweet on Monday.
Avenatti, who represents Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, wrote, “My client Stormy Daniels and her husband Glen have decided to end their marriage. A petition for divorce was filed last week, the accuracy of which is vehemently disputed. Stormy’s daughter remains her number one priority. She kindly asks for privacy for the sake of her family.”

Daniels and Crain had a daughter together in 2011 and married in 2015. In a March 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, Daniels said that since her affair with Trump became public, she and her family have been harassed by reporters, and her daughter was disinvited from a birthday party.
“My daughter didn’t deserve any of this,” Daniels said in the interview. “[Crain] didn’t deserve any of this. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an angel. I’m capitalizing on this.” She added, “It eclipses everything else that I’ve worked hard on that I wanted to be known as, and I was very happily living incognito back home.”
Crain is a heavy-metal drummer who has played with bands like Godhead and Hollywood Undead and toured with Katy Perry and Korn. According to Bustle, he’s also a professional in the adult film industry in front of and behind the camera.
Once an anonymous porn star, Daniels rose to fame after she signed an NDA with Donald Trump just days before the 2016 presidential election. Daniels said she had an affair with the president back in 2006 and sued him for defamation and demanded the NDA be declared null. Trump has consistently denied that any affair between the two ever took place.
Avenatti has become a fixture on CNN and MSNBC, logging hundreds of appearances on the networks in 2018, with persistent reports of his own show somewhere in the works.
