Jaime King is divorcing Kyle Newman - and has filed a restraining order against him

Legal documents were filed by Jaime in Los Angeles on Monday (18.05.20) to ask for the divorce, TMZ reports.

Jaime and Kyle's son Leo had a tough start in life, when he had to undergo major heart surgery in the first few months of his life.

Of the ordeal, she explained: "I was wheel-chaired to him every three hours, so I could breastfeed him and take care of him before he went into this huge surgery. It was a terrifying experience. But thank God for the medicine that we have now ... I knew how traumatic the experience was, how much post-traumatic stress disorder I had afterwards, and the trauma that I was experiencing before it. It's because I didn't know anybody that had gone through it and I didn't have people to talk to.

"I have a voice and I want to use that voice on behalf of my son - and I know that my son would want that. I've gotten thousands of letters from people and now I have a real community of people to talk to."

Leo was diagnosed with the congenital heart defect leading to a "traumatic" time, according to Jaime.

She wrote on Instagram at the time: "Dear all - at 20 weeks our son was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries AKA TGA. He had a major heart surgery, that was terrifying, and traumatic for us as parents, for our family. Only a few of our best friends knew. I felt that I had to protect him in fear of the unknown, fear he would not make it. We felt isolated & confused. (sic)"
