Jaime King’s ex Kyle Newman wins physical custody of sons as she’s ordered to rehab

Director Kyle Newman was awarded physical custody of his two sons with actor Jaime King after a years-long custody battle. A Los Angeles judge earlier this month awarded “Barely Lethal” and “Fanboys” director Newman sole primary custody over the two sons he shares with actor-model King, according to legal documents reviewed by The Times. The custody order says the ex-spouses will have joint legal custody over 11-year-old James and 9-year-old Leo, but that Newman, 49, has “tie-breaking authority.” The custody order, filed March 11 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, lays out the schedule and terms of King’s visitation. At the time, King cited “irreconcilable differences” for ending their marriage after 12 years and sought joint legal and physical custody over her children with Newman. The terms of their settlement were not disclosed, but a legal representative for Newman told PageSix in September 2023, “I am hopeful that this will be a clean beginning for them.” The attorney added: “They both understand they will be in each other’s lives forever, and that their children deserve nothing but the best from both of them.” Neither King nor Newman, who married 31-year-old singer Cyn in 2023, addressed the order on social media.
