Main Body
The divorce process began on May 18 in Williamson County, Tennessee. Jason filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences' and stated that the couple separated on May 9. Alisa DeFord explained on her show, 'Dumb Blonde,' that the filing happened after an argument on Mother's Day. She admitted that she suggested the divorce during a moment of extreme frustration, although she clarified that the decision was not mutual. Furthermore, she mentioned that the couple struggled to communicate due to the emotional stress of failed IVF attempts, during which they lost four embryos.
