Jay Mohr Files for Divorce from Nikki Cox After 9 Years of Marriage

Jay Mohr has filed for divorce from his wife Nikki Cox after nine years of marriage.

Despite the divorce, it seems that the couple plans on staying together as they released a statement to TMZ saying they are still happy together.

“We are very married. Very in love. Very happy and that’s really all there is,” the couple said.

Jay filed the documents on Tuesday and then on Wednesday filed an emergency petition for full physical custody of their five-year-old son Meredith Daniel. He says that Nikki is suffering from depression and worries that their child is at risk if left alone with her due to a “serious” and “ongoing” drug problem.

The divorce documents cite irreconcilable differences and the judge set a hearing for next month so he can hear both sides of the case.
