Just five months after strongly suggesting she split from Elise Williams, Tommy Dorfman has officially filed for divorce.
The 33-year-old Dorfman – who came out as a transgender woman in July 2021 – met on Hinge that year and got engaged after just two months of dating.
The couple secretly tied the knot in late 2023 in Malibu, with Dorfman not publicly revealing the nuptials until May 2024.
Dorfman shared a 2024 recap post in late December, with 20 images from the year, the first of which was her in a bathtub, with the caption, ‘Heartbreak feels good in a place like this,’ taken from Nicole Kidman‘s now-famous AMC Theatres ad, hinting that she and Williams had split.
While Dorfman didn’t speak publicly about the split since then, People reports that she filed for divorce May 16 in New York City.

Dorfman was previously married to Peter Zurkuhlen from 2016 to 2021, though they still remain friends.
The 13 Reasons Why star came out as non-binary in 2017, four years before coming out as transgender in 2021 in an interview with Time.
‘For a year now, I have been privately identifying and living as a woman—a trans woman,’ she said, while adding why she decided to keep her male birth name Tommy.
‘I’m not changing my name. I’m named after my mom’s brother who passed a month after I was born, and I feel very connected to that name, to an uncle who held me as he was dying. This is an evolution of Tommy. I’m becoming more Tommy,’ she said.
She met Williams in 2021, and while they got engaged just two months after meeting, Dorfman said in her May 2024 Vogue essay that they didn’t move in together until months later.
‘We got engaged two months into dating. To our credit, we waited a full 12 months before moving in together, so you can’t say we U-Hauled (though one might argue taking in a Great Dane puppy at our six-month mark was a smidge irresponsible),’ she said.
‘That’s the thing about falling in love though; your responsibility barometer isn’t always where it should be. Love, for us, required that nauseating combination of naivete, delusion, and fate,’ Dorfman added.
She called Williams, ‘a self-respecting and grounded human,’ adding, ‘she likes her life, and her privacy.’

Dorfman said that for Williams, ‘fame, or even fame by association, was never aspirational for her; she dedicated the first half of her 20s to educating, interior design projects, and writing.’

‘On the other hand, I had never been more public-facing than in our first year together: from fashion weeks to beauty campaigns to the Met Gala.
Those first few months illustrated our lifestyle differences and became a testing ground for how we would relate to the outside world,’ Dorfman said.
Dorfman hasn’t publicly commented on the split yet, though she will be embarking on a tour for her new book Maybe This Will Save Me.
The tour kicks off in New York City on May 28 with a signing and discussion with Real Housewives of New York star Jenna Lyons.
The tour continues in Los Angeles on May 30 with Kaia Gerber, then San Francisco June 5 with Chloe Benjamin and Atlanta June 11 with E.R. Anderson.
