A judge granted Jaime King’s request for a restraining order against her husband of 12 years, Kyle Newsman, People reported on Monday.
The order, to remain in place until a court hearing to be held on June 8, comes after the actress filed for divorce and for a domestic violence petition against the director.
A source told the magazine that King, 41, is ‘distraught’ over the situation.

News of King’s filing came hours early on Monday, according to TMZ.
King has been married to Newman, 44, since 2007 after meeting on his film Fanboys, and together they share sons James, six, and Leo, four.
The couple’s marriage had come under scrutiny lately after Jaime was seen out without her wedding band.
The duo were reportedly quarantining apart in recent days, with Jaime in California and Kyle in Pennsylvania with their children, according to Life & Style.

Jaime and Kyle are ‘taking some time apart to focus on themselves,’ a source told the site.
‘He’s [Kyle] been staying with his family for months and is leaning on them for support,’ the source added.
The couple had an instant connection that blew Jaime away.
‘I don’t know why, but some part of me was instantly connected to him, and I loved him so much,’ Jaime told InStyle Weddings. ‘It was intense. I never thought that would happen to me.’

They moved in together three months after first meeting, and married in November 2007 at the place they had their first date, the Greystone Park and Manor in Los Angeles.
The couple endured several trials over the course of their nearly 13 year long marriage.
Jaime was in Beverly Hills in 2018 when a man jumped onto her car with her son James inside, wrecking the windshield and leaving the pair shaken.

The man, Paul Francis Floyd, was jailed for one year as a result of the attack, and was again sentenced to over four years in prison in 2019 after allegedly sending Jaime threats and explicit images following his initial release.
Jaime has also been open about her own fertility struggles.
The actress revealed she had suffered five miscarriages and was even diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis before finally having her first child.
‘I’ve had five miscarriages, gone through five rounds of IVF and 26 rounds of IUD,’ she told People in 2015. ‘I was in severe pain all the time, emotionally and physically.’

Jaime went through five years of fertility treatments but eventually wound up getting pregnant naturally.
The couple welcomed their son Leo in 2015, but Jaime learned he had a heart defect when she was still pregnant.
The child was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries when he was 20 weeks old, and subsequently underwent major heart surgery.

Describing the ordeal, she told People, ‘I was wheel-chaired to him every three hours, so I could breastfeed him and take care of him before he went into this huge surgery. It was a terrifying experience.’
Adding: ‘But thank God for the medicine that we have now … I knew how traumatic the experience was, how much post-traumatic stress disorder I had afterwards, and the trauma that I was experiencing before it. It’s because I didn’t know anybody that had gone through it and I didn’t have people to talk to.
‘I have a voice and I want to use that voice on behalf of my son – and I know that my son would want that. I’ve gotten thousands of letters from people and now I have a real community of people to talk to.’
