And there were no official filings of divorce proceedings by either party. However, weeks after the photos were made public a source told People that Aikman and Mooty were divorced. The insider did not say when that was finalized.

“This has been a difficult decision for Rhonda and me, but after 10 years of marriage, we have decided to separate,” Aikman said in a statement via People at the time. “We remain deeply committed to our children and respectfully ask that you honor our family s privacy during this period of adjustment.”
