According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the new filing comes a few months after she reportedly dropped the original divorce filing. In July 2019, Palicki first filed to dissolve their union after two months of marriage.

This past May, Palicki posted an anniversary tribute to Instagram, where she acknowledged that this year has had its "ups and downs" while also staying hopeful of their future together.

"Happy anniversary to my husband @scottchristophergrimes. What a bizarre year it’s been with all of it’s ups and downs," she wrote. "Thankfully, we’ve been able to navigate it together. I love and appreciate you."

Palicki and Grimes have co-starred on The Orville — Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi/dramedy Fox series — in their respective roles of Commander Kelly Grayson and Lieutenant Gordon Malloy since 2017.

Four months later, the couple wed in a romantic Austin, Texas, ceremony in front of friends and family on May 19.

Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to bar universities and pension funds from divesting from Israel
Pennsylvania’s state Senate approved legislation Thursday that would block state aid from going to any university that boycotts or divests from Israel, following pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the country that included demands for divestment. The measure, which passed by a vote of 41 to 7, also would bar the state treasurer and public pension systems from boycotting or divesting from Israel's government or commercial financial activity in that country. Supporters of the legislation said it was motivated by a desire to support an ally nation in its war with Hamas, to fight a rising tide of antisemitism in the United States and to alert state-subsidized universities that they must protect Jewish students from threats and bullying by anti-Israel protesters.
