Seann William Scott, known for his role as Steve Stifler in the iconic “American Pie” series, is navigating a personal chapter as he files for divorce from his wife of four years, Olivia Korenberg. The actor lodged the paperwork in a Los Angeles County court, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind their split. News of their separation comes after a period of estrangement since October 2023.

The couple, who tied the knot in September 2019, shares a daughter named Frankie Rose Scott, aged three. Despite their decision to part ways, Scott is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their child. Korenberg, an interior designer and co-founder of Twofold LA, a boutique design firm, had left her professional pursuits just weeks before their nuptials.

Scott, typically guarded about his personal life, had previously described Korenberg as a “great girl” in an interview with Us Weekly following their wedding. His journey to stardom, however, was not without its hurdles. In a revealing anecdote, Scott disclosed to radio host Rich Eisen that he had been working as a plumber at Home Depot when he landed the role of Stifler. Despite initially being paid a modest sum of $8,000 for his breakout performance, Scott’s career soared, leading to collaborations with industry heavyweights like Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis.

Notably, Scott reprised his role as the irreverent Stifler in “American Reunion” in 2012, reportedly earning $5 million for his return to the franchise. Reflecting on his iconic character, Scott has expressed gratitude, describing the experience as a “dream come true.” He remains appreciative of the opportunities the film provided, acknowledging its pivotal role in shaping his career trajectory.

As Seann William Scott and Korenberg embark on separate paths, their priority remains the well-being of their daughter. Despite the challenges of their marriage coming to an end, both will continue to co-parent Frankie Rose with love and respect. For Scott, while the journey ahead may present its challenges, his enduring appreciation for his roots in “American Pie” serves as a reminder of the enduring power of his cinematic legacy.
