The 44-year-old entertainer filed for divorce in Los Angeles, just weeks after news broke that the couple had separated.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, where she boasts one million followers, the FUBAR star shared a statement.
'Together, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. We've been separated for a little bit, both of us dealing with tough health situations in our families, so it wasn't something we were ready to talk about,' she began the note.
Feimster went on to say, 'While we are sad to see this chapter of our lives come to a close, we wish each other nothing but the best as we move forward.'

The correspondence continued, 'We've had 10 years together, and there's so much to celebrate about that and so much we will look back on fondly.'

The caption of the post simply read, 'From Jax and me,' and comments were disabled.
Fortune's followers have shown support by giving the message more than 96,000 likes so far.
Fortune (born Emily) and Jax did not have any children, but share a Pomeranian rescue dog named Biggie.
They were last pictured together on March 2 while attending Elton John AIDS Foundation's 33rd Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood.
Feimster met the former kindergarten teacher in a parking lot at a Chicago Pride event in 2015 — the day after the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in all 50 states.
She would later describe the encounter as 'love at first sight.'
The You're Cordially Invited actress and Jax initially bonded over watching NBC's Dateline before getting engaged during a romantic getaway to Big Sur in 2018.
The exes tied the knot during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, exchanging vows in the backyard of a rented a seaside home in Malibu.
They marked their October 23 fourth wedding anniversary with a celebratory trip to Greece.
Feimster wrote online at the time, 'In between Prague filming and Oktoberfest, Jax and I took a little detour into Santorini, Greece and it was a magical much needed vacation. I was up to my eyeballs in feta and frappes and loved every second of it.'

Mum is left humbled by her drastic appearance change after having a baby & people don't believe it's the same woman
NO KIDDING Did your face change during pregnancy? Scroll down and let us know A MOTHER has left people's jaws on the floor after revealing how pregnancy changed her appearance. Wariara, a first-time mother who recently gave birth to her daughter, shared a short clip online of how having her child 'humbled' her. 2 The mother welcomed her baby into the world earlier this year, but moments after the little one was born, the content creator was barely recognisable. In a now viral clip, the savvy mum showed how she looked before and after falling pregnant with her second child, leaving many gobsmacked. Not only have people been left stunned at Wariara's change in appearance, but many claimed they 'could not believe' their eyes. At the start of the short video, Wariara confidently posed for the camera as she wore a blue crop top and black mini skirt. Showing herself 'before having a baby', she wore her curly hair tied back and donned a full face of make-up, which included a neat eyeliner flick and lipstick. But seconds later, Wariara gave her followers a close-up look at her after giving birth, as she admitted she is 'beyond humbled' by how her appearance has changed. The girl mum wore a nursing bra and some baggy shorts as she cradled her newborn. Wariara's skin was make-up free and her once slicked down curly hair was now not styled or brushed. Her locks danced in numerous directions and Wariara blankly stared at the camera, showing off her natural skin. The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ wariara38, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 7.3 million views in just four days. 'This is why I refuse to carry a baby without a house & a ring' people scream as woman shows how pregnancy 'humbled' her Not only this, but it's also amassed 740,700 likes, 8,268 comments and 345,500 shares. Social media users were gobsmacked by Wariara's change in appearance and many couldn't believe it was the same woman. As well as this, others suggest she call the police and 'sue everyone involved.' One person said: 'I cannot believe my eyes.' Another begged: 'With kindness, please put a jump scare warning in next time.' Whilst someone else joked: 'You may be eligible for compensation.' Another user asked: 'Did you report this incident at the nearest police station?' At the same time, another user gasped: 'Ain't no way that is you.'

See inside climate controlled room where Diddy stored baby oil: Live trial updates
A trove of new evidence photos in the ongoing Diddy trial, including pictures of 200 bottles of baby oil and 900 bottles of Astroglide lubricant, were released by federal prosecutors last week in court. The items were collected by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at the disgraced Bad Boy mogul's mansion in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. The baby oil bottles were found stored inside a luxury, humidity controlled container akin to a cigar humidor. The prosecution claims Combs used his fame and power, as well as violence, to force his girlfriends into his 'freak-off' sex marathons. The defense, which will present its case this week, says prosecutors are trying to criminalize sexual activity between consenting adults. They admit their client was involved in domestic abuse, but argue he has not committed the federal crimes of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Diddy stored bottles of baby oil in a temperature controlled box Over 200 bottles of baby oil and 900 bottles of astroglide lubricant were shown in evidence photos that came to light in court last week in the Diddy trial. The items were collected by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at the disgraced Bad Boy mogul's mansion in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. It appeared the baby oil was kept in a luxury humidor designed to maintain humidity levels for cigars.

EXCLUSIVE Healthiest items to order at fast food restaurants revealed
If you've been taking care of your body and working out, odds are 'protein' has become a huge part of your life (and vocabulary). While things like a grilled chicken breast and baked salmon are great sources of protein, realistically, you probably won't be cooking healthy, protein-packed meals every day of your life. And though you can always buy a salad, not everyone wants to have leafy greens every time they're eating out. Sometimes, you just need a cheeseburger. Balance is important - but so is staying on track with your goals. So if you absolutely need to get fast food - either because you're on the go, don't feel like cooking, or simply craving some - there are ways to tailor your order so that you're getting as much protein as possible in your happy meal (or whatever else). Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist Chloë Ward told the Daily Mail that she advises her clients to discuss realistic, supportive choices for those times they just don't feel like cooking - or craving something salty. 'Cravings like this can be the body's way of signaling a need for more nourishment - especially protein, healthy fats, or quick energy - often after a busy or stressful day,' Ward explained. But she said that this can be done tactfully instead of just telling yourself 'avoid fast food.' 'From a functional perspective, we want to focus on blood sugar balance, lowering inflammation, and supporting digestion - even when convenience is the priority,' she said. 'The goal is to make fast food work with your body, not against it.' If you're craving Chipotle, Ward recommended going with a burrito bowl with double the protein (like chicken and carnitas). She said to also include cauliflower rice or white rice, fajita veggies, black beans, and guacamole. 'It's hearty, satisfying, and keeps blood sugar stable,' dished the expert. If Chick-fil-A is more your speed in the moment, Ward recommended the 12-count grilled nuggets with a fruit cup or the kale crunch side. 'Sometimes I'll tell clients to toss in some nuts or avocado they brought from home for extra staying power,' she shared. If you're more of a Taco Bell person, Ward advised getting a Power Bowl with extra chicken or steak, and to skip the beans and rice. 'You can keep the lettuce, cheese, salsa, and guacamole,' she said. 'This is a good balance of protein, fat, and fiber.' And advised against making it a 'meal,' so you avoid sugary drinks. When it comes to your favorite burger joints like Shake Shack or In-N-Out, Ward said it's essential to look for an option that has protein and not too many sauces. It's also a great idea to skip the bun and get your protein wrapped in lettuce instead. But at the end of the day, if you're really craving a meal, it's alright to go ahead and eat it - so long as you get back to your goals immediately after. There are also a lot of places to draw inspiration from. TikTok creators like @smallersam_pcos have built an entire platform on finding low-calorie high-protein meals you can get at any fast food chain - and still lose weight while eating them. 'The goal isn't perfection - it's helping clients feel empowered to make better choices that still feel good and taste good,' Ward concluded. 'You can absolutely support your health and still grab something from a drive-thru when needed.'
