The E! News correspondent filed papers in Los Angeles on Monday (14Mar16) to end her marriage to the Brit after four-and-a-half years.

Sadler tells People.com she hopes she can remain friends with Thomas, who produced films including Offender and Private Peaceful, but she will be putting her two children from her previous marriage first.

"I'm excited about this next chapter of my life," Sadler in a statement. "Change is never easy, but my children remain my utmost priority. I'm no different than many single working mothers faced with the pressures of the constant juggle. It can be exhausting but it is extremely rewarding.

"I always land on my feet and am surrounded by a loving support system. Life continues to teach us about ourselves each day. I am thankful for life’s lessons. My eyes are only looking forward.”

Sadler, 41, and Thomas eloped in Las Vegas in 2011. She was previously married to fashion executive Kyle Boyd between 2001 to 2008. They have two sons Austin and Arion.
