Their divorce announcement came after the couple has been through a rocky year. The actress spent most of her time in New Orleans on the set of TNT's Claws, where she plays Desna Simms, Daily Mail explained.

An insider who spoke to Daily Mail revealed that Nash's choices in her career and body added to what damaged their relationship.

Those are some of the things that led to her marriage failing. The source said:

"Niecy got a brand new body right before she went to film Claws down in New Orleans, and that's when their troubles began."

"Jay was really uncomfortable with her graphic sex scenes on the show, and that made their problems worse."

"We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have. Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage. Our union was such a gorgeous ride."
