Days before the wedding, it was revealed that Scalia had initiated divorce proceedings with Lauren.
"I'm sure you've all heard the news. I just want to reassure everyone that we're doing okay," she stated in an Instagram video on October 24. "This decision has been a long time coming. Filing for divorce was just the final step. We were both in agreement and did this together."
Lauren and Scalia, who were married in July 2015, have plans to co-parent their 6-year-old daughter, Markie. “Our main concern is the happiness and health of our daughter,” Lauren stated. “Privacy is something we value, and since we haven't been on TV in seven years, we didn't feel the need for a dramatic announcement. We are moving forward with love and respect for each other, and will always be a family. Our focus is on our daughter's privacy, as she did not choose to be in the spotlight.”
