Mercedes Javid files for divorce, marking the end of her seven-year marriage to Tommy Feight

Reality star Mercedes Javid, "MJ," has officially filed for divorce from husband Tommy Feight, bringing an end to the couple’s more than seven years of marriage. According to court filings, the split was submitted in Los Angeles late on Friday and lists the date of separation as that same day: October 17, 2025.

Reports by TMZ state that in the documents, Mercedes Javid cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the dissolution of the marriage. Javid also requests that neither party receive spousal support. The filing also achieves the goal of finding both sole physical and legal custody of the parties' six-year-old child, Shams, but Javid is open to a visitation arrangement for Feight. There is a scheduled hearing in this matter on December 18, 2025.

Background of Mercedes Javid's marriage and family

Mercedes Javid married Tommy Feight on April 21, 2018. Their son, Shams, was born in April 2019. Javid and Feight were fixtures on the popular reality television series Shahs of Sunset, Javid being a cast member from 2012 until the series was cancelled in 2021.

The couple has provided a public account of the highs and lows in their relationship. In a 2020 interview, Javid described the strains of everyday life and the pandemic creating times of tension. During this period, both Javid and Feight pledged to work through obstacles, yet the recent filing suggests that those attempts have given way to separation.

Javid and Feight's marriage had also been the subject of public commentary from their co-stars. In August of 2025, co-cast member Golnesa GG Gharachedaghi made a post that alluded to the couple's divorce.

Shams, the couple's child, seems to be a primary consideration in the divorce filings. Mercedes Javid is requesting sole custody while allowing Feast visitation, indicating her desire to have major responsibility and decision-making planning for the child. The relatively swift filing on the same date as separation suggests the couple may have decided before the paperwork surfaced.

What does this mean going forward?

The divorce filing is the first stage of the formal dissolution of the marriage. Because Mercedes Javid is requesting the court deny spousal support to either herself or Feight, their dispute appears to be primarily over custody and separation, not continuing financial support. Based on a hearing set for December 18, there will be issues over custody, support, and the division of marital property. The case is just beginning unless there is a hearing or settlement. Feight’s involvement is less clear from the filing, other than that Javid is open to him having visitation.

For fans of Shahs of Sunset, this marks a significant development. Both Javid and Feight were part of the show’s world, and their relationship was visible on-screen. The end of their marriage closes a chapter for both personally and publicly.

Trending

As of now, no public statement has been made by Feight in response to the filing. The media reached out for comment, but according to the filing report by TMZ, no response had been received at the time of publication.

While divorce is a private matter for the family, as public figures, their separation will draw interest from fans and media alike. How they handle co-parenting and their public profiles in the months to come may shape the story around this split, beyond the filing itself.
