And now, Us Weekly reports that the exes' divorce is close to being finalised as they await approval from the judge.
The papers filed on Tuesday (22.02.22) read: "The parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court."
According to the news outlet, Julianne has given up her right to receive spousal support from Brooks.
The pair announced their separation in a joint statement after they had spent months self-isolating separately amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Brooks in Idaho and Julianne at home in Los Angeles.
Their statement read: "We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate. We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place. We kindly request your compassion and respect for our privacy moving forward."
Sources had claimed that although they tried to work on their marriage, they ultimately felt as though they had too many "problems" to make a romance work between them.
One insider said: "Julianne and Brooks just can't get past their problems. Julianne had a dinner party with friends a few months ago, which Brooks came to. They were trying to be lovey-dovey with each other and have a good night with a few friends, but Brooks ended up bringing up some of their issues in front of everyone and it became a big fight."
The former couple remained close after splitting in May 2020, because of their mutual friends and shared business deals, but decided they're better off as friends.
The source added: "When they took time apart, Julianne was heavily involved with Kinrgy, and because Brooks helped her develop it, they continued to stay in touch and also were connected because they share the same friend group. They missed each other and ended up hooking up a few times during their breakup and have tried to sort out their marriage and business commitments."
The pair tied the knot in 2017.
