According to TMZ, Katie, 35, filed court documents on Tuesday, March 22, at LA County Superior Court to officially divorce from Tom, 39.
It came just days after the pair were spotted having lunch together over the weekend before.
The Florida State University alum snapped the photo of his long-time partner which she re-shared to her own profile on Saturday captioned: “It’s all good.”
They were casually dressed, kept their sunglasses on and did not appear affectionate, as TMZ earlier reported.
THE BREAK-UP
Katie and Tom announced their breakup via separate Instagram posts last week, after The Sun exclusively revealed that their relationship was on the rocks.
Katie told her followers: “After 12 years on an adventure through life together, Tom and I are ending our marriage.”
She added: “This ending is not met with resentment or animosity, no sides to choose.
“We have deep admiration for one another that will always remain and we cherish our friendship.”

In his post, Tom wrote: “Well, this sucks, how am I supposed to capture 12 years of love in a f**kin’ Instagram caption?
“I’m not ready to use the ‘D’ word because it’s too painful. Yes, my heart aches.”
‘I JUST WASN’T HAPPY’
Speaking on her podcast, You’re Gonna Love Me with Katie Maloney on March 18, the Bravo star burst into tears as she spoke to her listeners.
“It was my decision, which was probably the hardest and most painful decision I’ve ever had to make,” she said.
Katie added: “I love Tom, and we’ve built a life together, and he was my person, but ultimately, I just wasn’t happy.”
RING RUMORS
The couple had fueled breakup rumors for weeks after the podcast host shared cryptic quotes about divorce and showed off photos that emphasized her without a wedding ring.
Katie tied the knot to the TomTom co-founder in 2016, although the pair never officially filed their documents, and had to have another ceremony in 2019 to legally seal the deal.
In 2019, Lisa Vanderpump pushed them to make it official with a smaller Las Vegas ceremony – where they finally sealed the deal with the proper paperwork.
Throughout their 12 years together, many of their highs and lows played out on-camera – including his infidelity that was revealed two years after they wed.
In 2018, viewers watched the fallout after Tom was unfaithful while he was blackout drunk.
He would later describe his actions to Us Weekly as “really douchey.”
But during their lunch reunion, Tom was apparently still wearing his wedding ring.
He also appeared to hide his wedding hand in street photos the day of the split announcement where he looked disheveled and held his forehead.
The Sun earlier exclusively reported that Katie has been living in the 3,500-square-foot $1.9M LA mansion they purchased in 2019 amid the fallout.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom suburban home is just down the street from BFF Tom Sandoval’s pad, whom Tom has reportedly been leaning on.
No further details about the divorce filings have been reported at this time, and the couple shares no children.
