"I have decided to proceed with the annulment of my marriage to James Haven after giving it much thought. The public record still lists fraud as the stated reason for the annulment, according to Imbelli's statement to PEOPLE. PEOPLE looked up Imbelli's paperwork and verified that "fraud" was listed as the cause of the marriage's nullity.
"I feel that this decision is essential for my well-being, even if it has been extremely personal and challenging." Currently, I am focused on moving forward with clarity and peace, and I appreciate the support of those who have stood by me," she adds.
"I’m finding healing through this process by putting my truth into words in my upcoming memoir, where I will share more about this chapter of my life and the journey that led me here."
According to court documents acquired by PEOPLE, Imbelli submitted the petition on Tuesday, August 27, 15 days after the wedding, even though the statement was made seven months after the couple's wedding.
On Monday, August 12, 2024, the wedding took place in a small ceremony at Laguna Beach, California, and only Jared was the first to report on it. Later, on January 1, 2025, Imbelli uploaded a since-deleted Instagram post confirming the marriage.
"I married my 23-year best friend in 2024. Our narrative is too deep and personal to tell now, but I'm writing it all down in my book. With intentions to have a bigger party later, our wedding day was small, just the two of us and our parents exchanging vows," she started her caption.
Imbelli went on to say that the two "had a big fight the next day," casting doubt on their marriage.
"We decided to resolve our differences after five months of intense sobbing, healing, and introspection, and we are currently organizing a memorable day for my daughter. I'm free and eager to get back to my hubby and our house in Los Angeles. She came to the conclusion at the time that "everything that has happened in the past few months was part of a greater plan, and I trust in God's timing."
From 2011 to 2013, Imbelli was wed to musician Dusty Ray. She wed chef Charles Imbelli in 2015, and the two had a daughter, Frankie, in 2016. In 2019, the two parted ways.
