Porn Star Jenna Jameson Files For Divorce From Her Wife

The queen of adult entertainment, Jenna Jameson, has officially called it quits on her marriage to podcast host Jessi Lawless. Court documents filed in Clark County, Nevada, on February 27, 2025, reveal that the 50-year-old icon—born Jenna Marie Massoli—submitted a complaint for divorce, marking the end of a rollercoaster relationship that began with a whirlwind Las Vegas wedding on May 22, 2023.

What started as a fairy-tale romance quickly unraveled. Just 11 months into their marriage, Lawless announced their separation in April 2024, citing Jameson's relapse into alcohol use as the breaking point. In a raw Instagram video, the 40-year-old podcaster confirmed the split, explaining, "There are a lot of rumors going around that Jenna and I are getting a divorce. And I'm making this video to confirm that." She detailed how Jameson's drinking during a Chicago trip violated a key boundary, leading to irreconcilable differences. Lawless even shared alleged text messages where Jameson reportedly showed no remorse, saying, "I'm not sorry. I don't feel sorry."

A History of Highs and Lows

Jameson and Lawless met in 2022 and got engaged just a year later, tying the knot in a spontaneous ceremony that Jameson described as her happiest moment. In interviews, she gushed about Lawless grounding her impulsive nature: "I'm kind of balls to the wall... Jessi is very reserved and thinks everything through. She grounds me." But beneath the romance lay deeper struggles. Jameson has been candid about her battles with addiction, mental health, and dramatic weight loss in recent years—issues that have plagued her post-retirement life as an entrepreneur and mother of two.

Despite the initial annulment filing by Lawless in 2024—claiming fraud over financial representations—Jameson made multiple attempts to rekindle the flame. Sources say she reached out repeatedly, but Lawless, now eight months into a new relationship with girlfriend Christian Ghidina, was done. "She tried to rekindle the relationship multiple times but I was unwilling to entertain her advances," Lawless told PEOPLE. 0 The podcaster praised Ghidina for her support during the messy separation, adding a layer of finality to the saga.

Details of the Filing and What's Next

The divorce papers are straightforward: no pregnancy, no community debt to divide, and no request for spousal support. Jameson is seeking to retain personal items like luxury handbags, fine jewelry, and sentimental pieces—including a Cartier band, a Jewish faith necklace, and one belonging to her late father. Jameson, whose net worth hovers around $30 million from her storied career spanning over 100 films and her production company, appears focused on closure.

Jameson responded cryptically to the 2024 split with an Instagram Story: "I keep it classy." She hasn't publicly commented on the latest filing, but her silence speaks volumes amid the public scrutiny. This isn't Jameson's first high-profile split—she was previously married to Jay Grdina and shares custody of her kids with ex Theo Von—but it underscores the ongoing challenges of fame, recovery, and love.

As the dust settles, fans are left reflecting on Jameson's resilience. From AVN Hall of Famer to bestselling author, she's always bounced back. What's next for the undisputed "Queen of Porn"?
