Aaron claims his reason for filing for divorce is that “the views, tastes, likes and dislikes” of himself and his estranged wife have become “incompatible to the extent that it has become impossible for them to live together as husband and wife in marital harmony.”

“There is no possibility of reconciliation between husband and wife,” the complaint further alleges.

Aaron and Victoria tied the knot in August 2022, sharing the news onInstagramalongside several photos of the celebration, held at the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. However, he listed his marriage date as “on or about May 4, 2020” - the day the pair were initially scheduled to walk down the aisle, perUs Weekly.

She allegedly set aside over $11,500 to pay the inmate in October 2024. They had also exchanged messages about a $2,500 upfront payment, per the outlet.

“Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce,” one of the alleged texts read, the outlet reported.
