Miguel’s wife, Nazanin Mandi, files for divorce

October 5, 2022

Miguel’s wife, Nazanin Mandi, filed for divorce.

In court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, Mandi, 36, filed for divorce from Miguel, also 36, in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County.

Mandi cited irreconcilable differences and asked for assets and properties to be divided as stated in their prenuptial agreement.

A rep for Miguel did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Days before the filing, Mandi reflected on her “current journey of soul-searching” in a series of selfies shared on Instagram.

“In a current journey of introspection and rediscovery of my purest self…when and who was I when I was my freest, most confident self…” she wrote. “She’s still here. And rising to the occasion, but this time with life experience, defined desires and an elevated state of mind, one healing step at a time. If this is you, we have this💪🏽.”

Her decision comes more than a year after she and Miguel announced their separation in September 2021.

“After 17 years together, Miguel and Nazanin Mandi have decided to go their separate ways and have been for some time now,” a rep for the couple told PEOPLE exclusively at the time. “The couple wish each other good luck.”

The couple, who dated for 10 years before getting engaged in 2016, married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley, Calif., in November 2018.

In February, they revealed that they had decided to put things right when the Dream Catcher The actress shared a series of photos on Instagram with the “Adorn” singer – and the couple weren’t shy about showing their affection.

In the photos, Mandi and Miguel were pictured smiling, kissing and holding each other as they got dressed for what appeared to be their Valentine’s Day outing.

“…heal the root so the tree is stable,” Mandi captioned the post. “I’m so proud of us. Les Pimentels xoxo.”

Miguel then commented with a series of emojis including a red heart, flame, heart eyes, and silver mouth face.

The buzz about a possible reconciliation arose in January when Mandi shared photos and videos of the two enjoying a winter weekend at the Amangiri in Canyon Point, Utah.

In March 2021, Mandi spoke with host Janine Rubenstein for the PEOPLE every day podcast on maintaining your relationship in quarantine.

“We used to be together a lot, but we also used to travel a lot,” she said at the time. “So keeping the spark alive was definitely something we had to stay on – because when you’re in different cities, it’s automatic to feel the excitement. [when you see each other again].”

“But being at home [together] all the time it’s like, ‘Okay, we have to find new things to watch and do and read,'” she continued. “It was a lot, but overall, we did well. I have no complaints, [and] am grateful for everything.”
