Actress Jane Lynch's divorce from Dr.
Lara Embry became final on Monday.
Lynch, who is best known for playing
Coach Sue Sylvester on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, announced
her split from her wife of three years in June, 2013.
The women married in a private ceremony
in Sunderland, Massachusetts in 2010, a year after they had met at a
fundraiser held in Embry's honor in San Francisco. Among those in
the wedding party was Embry's daughter, Haden. In a commencement
speech given in 2012, Lynch described Haden as a kid designed for
her. “She's witty, wise beyond her years, she has a huge heart,
and such patience with the frailties of human nature,” she said.
Lynch, 54, cited “irreconcilable
differences” in filing for divorce in a Los Angeles County Court.
According to TMZ.com,
the couple's property settlement has Embry, a psychologist, receiving
$1.2 million over 24 months, half of all royalties from Lynch's
television appearances, and half of several bank accounts, trust
accounts and a 401K. Embry will also keep Francis, the dog.
Last year, Lynch told Access
Hollywood that she was “fine” with the settlement.
“[California] is a half and half
state, as well as it should be, so that's fine,” she said. “It's
just money.”
