Actress Jaime King moves out of her $10k-a-month rental after losing custody of her kids to her ex-husband, Kyle Newman.

Earlier this week, a judge determined that the Hart of Dixie actress and Newman will split legal custody of James and Leo, their two children whose godmother is Taylor Swift. However, the filmmaker will have complete custody and ultimate say. King was granted visitation rights, but she must be supervised and can only see the boys three times per week.

Jaime King's Financial Struggles

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jaime King's current net worth amounts to $200 thousand. The actress and model is best known for her roles in Pearl Harbor, Hart of Dixie, and voice acting in Robot Chicken and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

She lost the legal battle for her children after she failed to complete a six-month drug and alcohol program that consisted of weekly testing. Following this heartbreaking revelation, she moved out of her $10,000-a-month property in the Hollywood Hills and downsized to a more affordable place.

According to a source close to the actress,

She has been struggling with her finances for years now after some failed film ventures but the custody fight and having to fight all the accusations made against her in court drained her bank accounts.

The insider further claimed,

Now that the world knows, it's made everything that much harder. It causes a wedge in personal and work relationships. She is taking it very hard to say the least. She has had demons she’s been battling for decades, but her recent troubles have been exasperated by her family troubles, her career struggling and financial stress. And I'm sure things others don't even know about, she can be very private about what she's going through.

Pictures of the actress' stuff placed near garbage cans on the curb were also acquired, including a wooden daybed, a mattress, a white table, a gray trunk, and a small trampoline.

Kyle and Jaime King initially wed in 2007, and after a lengthy legal battle over money and custody, Jaime's ex-husband filed for divorce in 2020 after 13 years of marriage. Their divorce finally came through in 2023, and the couple ended on amicable terms.

After the divorce, Newman filed for sole custody of the kids in October 2024. This decision came after he reportedly found his ex-wife “strung out” and “drunk” while watching James, 11, and Leo, 9. The Barely Lethal's filmmaker's attorney at the time stated,

Kyle is dealing with a serious situation affecting the safety and well-being of his children and asks for privacy for his children during this difficult process.
