The couple had a falling out with the filing citing irreconcilable differences that led to their marriage breaking down. It was added that the filing was made by Lillard in Clackamas County Circuit Court in Oregon City, Oregon.
It was also added that Damian and Kay'La have been living in separate homes in West Linn since December of last year, Katu.com reported.
