Maggie Grace Files for Divorce from Husband Brent Bushnell
Actress Maggie Grace, best known for her role in the hit series "Lost," has split from her husband. As it turns out, the star filed for divorce last year, but did so quietly, without much fanfare. According to documents obtained by journalists, the petition was filed in Washington state in May 2025.
The filing states that the marriage is "irretrievably broken," and the couple has been living separately since October 2024. Notably, the pair had already resolved many issues in advance: the documents reference a prenuptial agreement and a property settlement and separation agreement signed in March 2025. This suggests the divorce is amicable and conflict-free.
Maggie Grace and Brent Bushnell married in May 2017 in California, after getting engaged earlier that year. The couple has two children: their first child was born in 2020, and their second arrived in 2023. Now, the actress is asking the court to restore her maiden name, Margaret Grace Ives.
According to the petition, neither Maggie nor Brent is seeking spousal support. Brent also signed the joint petition, indicating full agreement between the parties. It seems the ex-couple has maintained a friendly relationship and is ready to co-parent their children.
The divorce of Maggie Grace came as a surprise to fans, as the actress rarely shared details of her personal life. She preferred to keep her family out of the public eye, which is why the news of the split caused a significant stir in the media. Fans are now discussing how this might affect her future career and projects.
Maggie Grace continues to work in film and television. Her career began in 2001 with the film "House of Gold," but she gained worldwide fame for her role as Shannon Rutherford in the cult series "Lost." Since then, she has appeared in projects such as "Twilight," "Taken," and "Fear the Walking Dead." The divorce news is unlikely to impact her professional life, but fans are eagerly following the developments.
Quiet divorces like this are not uncommon among Hollywood stars. Many couples try to avoid public scandals and resolve matters peacefully, especially when children are involved. In the case of Maggie Grace and Brent Bushnell, everything appears civilized, which is certainly beneficial for their children.
