The creator of the popular Netflix series “Stranger Things,” Ross Duffer, is facing a personal challenge as his wife, Leigh Janiak, has filed for divorce after 9 years of marriage. The news comes as a surprise to many fans of the couple, who are known for their work in the entertainment industry.

Details of the Divorce Filing

Leigh Janiak, a movie director recognized for her work on “Honeymoon” and “The Fear Street Trilogy,” officially submitted the divorce papers citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The couple, who tied the knot in January 2015, has not yet determined the date of separation.

Having met in 2006 at a Los Angeles production company, where Leigh was an assistant and Ross was an intern, the couple’s professional and personal lives have been intertwined for many years.

Legal and Personal Implications

As the couple does not have any children, the divorce proceedings will not involve child custody or support matters. However, Leigh Janiak has requested spousal support as part of the divorce settlement.
