Singer-songwriter Christina Perri, known for her hit song A Thousand Years, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Paul Costabile, after seven years of marriage. The legal documents, filed on November 3, 2025, in Los Angeles Superior Court, list “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Perri and Costabile were married on December 12, 2017, and share two daughters, Carmella Stanley, born in January 2018, and Pixie Rose, born in October 2022. In the filing, Perri has requested joint legal and physical custody of their children and asked the court to deny spousal support to Costabile. The documents also reference a prenuptial agreement signed the day before their wedding, December 11, 2017.
Throughout their marriage, Perri and Costabile maintained a publicly supportive relationship. They faced significant personal hardships together, including the loss of a baby via stillbirth in November 2020 following a miscarriage earlier that year. Despite those challenges, the couple welcomed their younger daughter in 2022 and appeared publicly to embrace both parenthood and Perri’s evolving music career.
While neither party has released a public statement regarding the divorce, court records list November 3, 2025, as both the filing date and the official date of separation. For Perri, the end of this chapter comes at a time when she remains active creatively. She recently authored a children’s book inspired by her signature song and continues her work in music while simultaneously navigating this personal shift.
For fans of Perri’s work, the news marks a surprising development in her personal life. Her music has frequently explored themes of love, loss, and emotional resilience, experiences that many of her listeners have connected with over the years. This latest transition adds yet another layer of depth to an artist who has made vulnerability and authenticity central to her creative identity. While the official timeline and further details have yet to unfold publicly, the filing indicates both the end of a marriage and the beginning of a new chapter for Perri, her daughters and her future in music.
