Pamela Anderson and Kid RockPamela Anderson and Kid Rock filed for divorce yesterday, after less than four months of marriage.

Pamela and Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, reportedly raced to file the papers yesterday with Kid Rock’s request for divorce being filed with Los Angeles area court 53 minutes before Pamela’s.

Both parties cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split but the date given for their formal separation differs: Pamela says they split on 21st November while Kid Rock gave the date as 26th November, the day before the papers were filed.

Pamela’s spokesperson Tracy Nguyen told People magazine: “Pamela filed for divorce last week. It wasn’t a happy Thanksgiving,” while Pamela confirmed the news on her website: “Yes, it’s true. Unfortunately impossible.”

The couple, who had previously been engaged before splitting in 2002, had a lavish “celebration ceremony” on a yacht in St Tropez on 29th July this year after reconciling in the French resort earlier that month. They officially married in the Beverly Hills Courthouse on the 3rd August after they returned to the United States.

Throughout their brief marriage, Pamela was constantly rumoured to be pregnant with Kid Rock’s child and suffered an early miscarriage earlier this month. She has two sons, Dylan and Brandon, for her previous marriage to Tommy Lee.
