NASH SETTLES HER DIVORCE

The award-winning comedian announced her divorce with Jay Tucker last year, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for them going their separate ways.

Their divorce was finalized early this year with the duo splitting properties. Nash and Tucker's issues started with the fact that they resided in different cities.

The situation of things aggravated after the "Reno 911" actress underwent body enhancement surgery. Tucker was also uncomfortable with her graphic movie scenes. Agreeing not to request spousal support, the duo split the money from her home's sale.
