Breaking Bad Star Betsy Brandt Files for Divorce After 25 Years of Marriage

“Breaking Bad” actress Betsy Brandt has officially called it quits with her husband, Grady Olsen, after over two decades of marriage. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Brandt filed for divorce on December 26, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Brandt, best known for her role as Marie Schrader on the iconic series, noted in her filing that the couple separated over a year ago in August 2023. Their marriage, which began in September 1998, spanned nearly 25 years.

The couple shares one minor child, a 16-year-old named August. Brandt is requesting legal and physical custody, with visitation rights likely to be determined later. The division of their property and assets is also on the table, as no prenup has been mentioned in the filing.

Brandt’s career has continued to shine post-“Breaking Bad,” including her comedic turn in CBS’s “Life in Pieces.” However, the end of her long-standing marriage marks a significant personal chapter for the actress.
