Young Sheldon star Emily Osment files for divorce just months after wedding

Actor Emily Osment has filed for divorce from her husband, musician Jack Anthony Farina, after less than five months of marriage.

The 32-year-old Hannah Montanaalum filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple wed on 12 October and separated on 7 December, according to court documents.

They do not have any children.

This was the first marriage for Osment, the younger sister of actor Haley Joel Osment, who made his breakthrough in the psychological thriller The Sixth Sense.

She rose to prominence playing Lilly Truscott, the best friend of the title character in the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, played by Miley Cyrus.

Osment later starred in the sitcoms Young & Hungry and Young Sheldon, and currently appears in the Young Sheldon spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage.

The news of the divorce was initially reported by TMZ.

Farina is a DJ, music producer and singer-songwriter. He releases music on Soundcloud under the name Farina.

Osment has previously said that Hannah Montana, which ran from 2006 to 2011, changed her life.

However, she previously revealed she has never watched any episodes of the teen sitcom.

“I can’t even tell you whether I’ve watched it at all — is that terrible?” she said when asked on the Chicks in the Office podcast, adding that there was an exception.

“I remember watching the premiere because they had a party for us on stage,” Osment said.

“And I remember that was such an interesting time, because we had no idea what it was going to be, that it was just going to be this sensation that, like, swept the world.”

Theactor also recalled times spent with Cyrus and how “everything changed” after Hannah Montana aired on TV.

“Miley used to come with me to my school dances and, like, nobody knew who she was and then immediately everything changed,” Osment said.

“And that was very strange.”
