Magnolia Network stars Gray and Mike Benko have been separated since April 2023 … spending time apart to work through their marital difficulties … TMZ has learned.
We’ve obtained the court docs … Mike vacated their marital home on the date listed as their separation, and Gray is requesting an Order of Separate Support & Maintenance — when one spouse receives court-ordered support from the other spouse, without a divorce.
The request also allows her to live apart from Mike without further interference from him.
The docs say she’s hopeful the parties will be able to negotiate a settlement agreement to resolve all the issues of their marriage and separation … though by the looks of it, divorce appears to be imminent.
She believes the court should review the agreement, approve it, and make the terms a part of the court’s final order in this action.
The estranged pair, who share 2 children, were compared to Chip & Joanna Gaines, aka the gurus of home makeovers … following the release of their successful show, “Happy to Be Home With the Benkos” last year.
It’ll be interesting to see how they’ll rebrand themselves separately.
