Jaime King's ex-husband Kyle Newman has been awarded sole physical custody of their two sons following a court ruling

The ruling also grants him sole physical custody, with the children living primarily with their father.

Jaime has been granted visitation rights but must be supervised during visits, which are permitted three times a week in specified time blocks.

Approved supervisors include the actress' mother, sister and brother-in-law, as well as Newman's brother, Kevin Newman.

A court addendum states troubled Jaime must have supervised visitation as she has not completed a six-month drug and alcohol programme, including weekly testing, aftercare and a 12-step programme.

Additionally, she must complete a 26-week parenting course, attend individual counselling and participate in conjoint counselling with the children when deemed appropriate by their therapist.

The ruling follows a long-running custody battle started in April 2024, when Jaime King filed an emergency request to modify their spousal and child support agreement, arguing she lacked the financial means to continue payments.

Documents obtained by People stated she sought to end the spousal support agreement from April 2022.

In response, Kyle claimed Jaime had been "out of compliance with the court's child and spousal support orders for well over a year".

Jaime and Kyle were married in 2007 at Greystone Park and Manor in Los Angeles.

He filed for divorce in May 2020 after 13 years of marriage.

At the time, the actress also filed a domestic violence prevention petition and an emergency motion regarding child custody and visitation.

Allegations of substance abuse have been a recurring issue in their custody dispute.

In documents from May 2020, Jaime stated Kyle staged an "intervention" in January of that year, telling family and friends she was struggling with addiction.

Jaime said she agreed to attend a treatment facility to prove she was not using drugs and was discharged after testing negative for substances.

In his filings, Kyle described Jaime as "a chronic drug addict and alcoholic who refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem, let alone seek meaningful treatment".

He claimed her substance use had impacted her parenting, stating "several friends" informed him she used opiates and drank alcohol while pregnant with James.

He further alleged she continued drug use while pregnant with Leo, leading to a congenital heart defect that required surgery immediately after birth.

Kyle's declaration also described incidents of Jaime allegedly driving under the influence with their children in the car, becoming intoxicated in their presence and leaving them unattended for extended periods.

He claimed on one occasion she left their boy Leo at a doctor's appointment with a nanny and was later found at a liquor store purchasing alcohol.
