The highly publicized divorce between actress Laura Prepon and actor Ben Foster reached another significant milestone recently, with the former couple successfully offloading their extensive Nashville, Tennessee, marital residence for a reported $4 million. This transaction, occurring months after the finalization of their bitter separation, marks a definitive step in the untangling of their shared assets and provides a clear picture of the financial implications of their split.
According to meticulously reviewed real estate records, the expansive property, boasting five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and an impressive 6,170 square feet of living space, was officially sold on a Monday in late July. The ex-spouses had initially listed this grand Nashville mansion in June for an asking price of $4.245 million, ultimately accepting $4 million, a figure slightly above their original purchase price of $3.995 million in March 2024. The original acquisition of the property was made under an LLC named Infinity Rose, with Ben Foster identified as a key member of the entity.
Details from their divorce settlement, as revealed in court documents, shed light on the financial distribution following the sale. Laura Prepon was designated to receive $977,987 from the net proceeds of the sale, with the remaining balance to be equally divided between them. Furthermore, the agreement mandated their collaborative effort in transferring the property deed from Infinity Rose to the new buyers, ensuring a smooth transition despite their personal differences. This type of divorce settlement often involves complex negotiations around shared real estate assets.
Beyond the property division, the settlement also addressed the crucial aspect of child custody and support for their two children. Prepon was established as the primary residential parent, while both parties agreed to share physical and legal custody. Financially, Ben Foster is obligated to pay $5,500 monthly in child support, reflecting the disparity in their reported incomes; court records indicate Foster’s average gross monthly income at $70,000, significantly higher than Prepon’s average of $22,000.
Further unsettling details emerged from employee statements within the court records, painting a troubling picture of Foster’s involvement as a parent. One employee anonymously stated, “Ben has shown, predominantly through inaction and absence, that being a father is not Ben’s priority. Sadly, Ben has never prioritized caring for the parties’ children.” These allegations highlight potential personal struggles that often accompany high-profile Hollywood splits and complex divorce cases.
Another employee voiced grave concerns regarding Foster’s alcohol consumption in the presence of the children. This individual reported, “A more serious concern that I have about Ben’s ability to care for these children relates to his consumption of alcohol around the children. It is my opinion that Ben has an issue with alcohol that needs to be addressed. I have frequently found whiskey in coffee cups that Ben leaves in the children’s rooms.” Such revelations underscore the emotional complexities and sensitive nature of celebrity divorce proceedings that extend beyond financial settlements.
Laura Prepon, widely recognized for her role as Donna Pinciotti in the iconic Fox sitcom That ’70s Show from 1998 to 2006, recently reprised her character in the Netflix sequel That ’90s Show, which aired for two seasons. Her career has seen her navigate the public eye for decades, making her a familiar face in entertainment news. The sale of their Nashville home echoes similar celebrity real estate transactions seen recently, such as Kristin Cavallari’s profitable Nashville home sale and the highly anticipated off-market status of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s $60 million marital residence, further highlighting trends in high-end property transactions among public figures after significant life changes.
