Trouble for Maroon 5’s former bassist Mickey Madden just escalated. His wife, Kate Bowman, has officially filed for divorce after only three months of marriage, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ.
The split comes in the wake of shocking domestic violence claims and allegations that Madden was sexting teenagers with a disturbing rape fantasy, according to Bowman.
The Divorce Filing Details
Bowman filed in court Wednesday, citing the standard “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. She is seeking spousal support while also asking the court to terminate Madden’s right to seek spousal support.
- No children are involved, so child custody or support issues are not part of the case.
- The couple reportedly married on May 6, but it’s unclear whether a prenup exists.
Domestic Violence Restraining Order Precedes Divorce
The divorce filing comes just two weeks after Bowman obtained a domestic violence restraining order against Madden. Bowman claims Madden physically assaulted her after she allegedly discovered texts showing him sexting minors and soliciting lewd photos.
She alleges Madden “went insane” when confronted and became violent, sparking her urgent court action to protect herself.
