Before they even married, Laura Dern and Ben Harper became parents to two children, a son Elery, born in 2001, and daughter, Jaya, born in 2004. Things seemed blissful at their 2005 wedding, but by 2010, the pair separated, according to Country Living. It was Harper who filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

However, that was hardly the end of their union. The pair reconciled and chose to give their marriage another try in 2012, but eventually called it quits for good a year later, when their divorce was finalized, according to Huffington Post.

Country Living states that the two agreed to share custody of their children, but Dern agreed to amend their settlement agreement in 2019 to get less child support from Harper. The Blast reports that court documents show Harper's support payment was reduced by $7,000 a month – from $17,000 to $10,000 – since both his and Dern's earnings potential changed.
