Split! Jesse Williams and Minka Kelly 'have broken up after one year of dating'... as his nasty custody battle with ex takes another ugly turn
Jesse Williams has reportedly split from Minka Kelly.
The Grey's Anatomy actor, 36, and the Friday Night Lights beauty, 37, have gone their separate ways after a year of dating, according to a Thursday report from UsWeekly.
This comes just as Williams has seen his bitter custody battle over his two children - daughter Sadie, aged four, and son Maceo, aged two - with estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee take another nasty turn as she argues over cupcakes and a woman named 'Mama C.'

It must have been difficult for Jesse and Minka to have had a thriving relationship with the agony of his split from Drake-Lee.
Often, their bickering over custody of their children has made headlines.
Jesse and Aryn filed for divorce in April.
Jesse and Minka allegeldy started dating in January 2017 when they filmed a video game together in Paris. The two were rarely seen together during their romance.

They were photographed together in 2013 along with other stars such as Oprah and Lenny Kravitz, but it is not known if they were friends at the time.
Last year, the brunette bombshell was asked online if she was dating the actor. That caused her to blow up.
When a hater wrote 'I hope the cheating rumors aren’t true. It would be disappointing,' Minka wrote back: 'They’re not. Hate for you to be disappointed. Glad I could clear that up for you. Now f*** off.'
And when things got too difficult, they 'took a few steps back,' according to the site.
Now it looks as if they have taken many steps back.

It is not known when they split up.
Kelly has not been spotted since earlier this month when she left LAX airport but she has been active on social media.
On January 2 she wrote: 'Here’s to a better year. I insist on believing we are on the upswing of goodness, kindness and service of others. We are a more awake society than we’ve ever been and that has to be the silver lining in all the madness over the last year. Right?'
Jesse had said in the past that he did not leave Aryn for Minka.

The split news comes after Aryn accused Jesse of introducing their kids too soon to a woman nicknamed Mama C, according to TMZ.
Drake-Lee says that Williams has been taking their two children to his new girlfriend's house since October. She also claims that the actor had taken the youngsters on a short vacation to Big Bear Mountain in California with his new ladylove.
Drake-Lee believes this is all a violation of their custody agreement in which it states that each of them have to wait at least six months into a new relationship before the significant other can be introduced to the children.

Mama C is not Minka, but rather a visual artist named Ciarra Pardo, the site claimed on Thursday.
It was further alleged that Ciarra is a longtime friend of Jesse and Aryn's and he has 'never hooked up with her.'
In addition, Jesse's ex claims that the actor broke a rule at four-year-old daughter Sadie's school as he apparently brought cupcakes for her birthday when it is mandated by the school to have one day a month to celebrate all the students' birthdays.
Aryn also believes that this has affected her relationship with their daughter as the documents say that Sadie was tearful as she said 'she was mad at me for not attending her birthday party' at the school.

The mother-of-two also claims there are other issues which are due to Jesse's unpredictable schedule and not giving enough notice before picking the children up.
So ultimately Jesse's ex is asking for the judge to set a more consistent schedule of visitation.
TMZ spoke to a source close to the couple who claims that Drake-Lee is 'lying' because of her desire to be seen as the victim.
'Aryn is obsessed with being seen as a victim. She hasn't had a job in nearly a decade, blew a marriage with a successful, generous, happy man who just built her a new house, loves his kids and pays her over $50K a month,' said the insider.
This comes just a week after it was claimed that Williams' monthly spousal support payments have been increased from $33k to $50k, TMZ reported.
Drake-Lee made the request to the court based on his ability to pay, and the judge granted it.
Under the new agreement, Aryn is responsible for all mortgage payments and expenses on the family home.
She is also entitled half of his residual checks from September 2012 to April 2017
