Seven years of marriage, a lifetime of memories, and then... divorce. That's the headline for singer Christina Perri and her now-former husband, Paul Costabile. It's a story that resonates with many, highlighting the complexities of relationships even in the spotlight.
This news broke on November 4, 2025, and was reported by David Cifarelli for MassLive. Perri, known for her heartfelt hits like "A Thousand Years" and "Jar of Hearts," filed the petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, November 3rd, as per USA TODAY. The couple had already separated by the time of the filing, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Perri, now 39 years old, is also seeking joint custody of their daughters, Carmella (7) and Pixie (3). She's also requested that the court address property division and spousal support, in accordance with a prenuptial agreement established before their wedding on December 11, 2017.
But here's where it gets interesting: Perri's career has been nothing short of impressive. She first gained fame when her debut single, "Jar of Hearts," was featured on "So You Think You Can Dance" back in 2010. This success led to a record deal with Atlantic Records, and the release of her debut EP and album, "Lovestrong," in 2011. The album was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
And this is the part most people miss: Her song "A Thousand Years," written for the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" soundtrack in 2012, achieved diamond certification from the RIAA for selling over 10 million copies. Her second studio album, "Head or Heart," followed in 2014, featuring the hit "Human." Perri has since released five more studio albums: "Songs for Carmella" (2019), "Songs for Rosie" (2021), "A Lighter Shade of Blue" (2022), "Songs for Pixie" and "Songs for Christmas" (both 2023).
