Longtime Wife of Popular Bassist Files for Divorce Months After Shooting Incident

Jillian Lauren Shriner cites irreconcilable differences and seeks joint custody of their two sons after a tumultuous year marked by a police shootout and legal challenges.

  • On Tuesday, December 2, Jillian Lauren Shriner filed for divorce from Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, TMZ first reported and Us Weekly and People obtained the legal documents.
  • Jillian cited `irreconcilable differences` in the filing and requested spousal support, attorney fees, a name change, and to bar the court from awarding Shriner spousal support.
  • In April, LAPD said the author was arrested after a hit-and-run pursuit; Lauren-Shriner was shot in the shoulder, released on a $1 million bond, and approved for a two-year mental health diversion program.
  • The filing seeks joint custody of their two sons, Tariku and Jovanni , while neither Jillian nor Scott Shriner have publicly confirmed the split; Us Weekly sought comment and Shriner told TMZ they were `getting through a `tough time`` and that Jillian was `alright`.
  • Her past memoir and Brunei connection have kept public interest, as she previously detailed working for Prince Jefri Bolkiah in Some Girls: My Life in a Harem , and Weezer continued performances including Coachella 2025 where the bassist did not address the incident.
