Tom Welling Was Married Once Before. Who Is His Ex-wife?

Tom Welling's current marriage is not his first. The 45-year-old was previously married to Jamie White, a former model. The couple started dating before Welling became famous and were together for a long time when they finally tied the knot.

They reportedly met in Miami in 1998 and were instantly attracted to each other. Welling and White married in 2002, a year after the actor landed a significant role in "Smallville." The pair had to relocate to Vancouver after Welling got the part in the TV series.

During their marriage, the pair often appeared on the red carpet together. Sadly, in 2013, White filed for divorce from Welling after being married for 11 years. Their divorce was due to "irreconcilable differences," and White sought spousal support from Welling.

According to legal documents, Welling had to pay spousal support for five years, with no set amount.

At the time of the divorce, they reportedly owned a horse farm in Florida, and White got all the horses; Springstein, Donatello, Zoozee, Cliff, and, Tomorrow, and Tom Welling got Tomahawk. They also had homes in Massachusetts and Florida, and the former husband and wife had numerous cars and other valuable items. Following the divorce, White has continued to live a low-profile life.
