Samantha Speno’s Marriage and Divorce
Theirs seemed to be love at first sight, which started with a conversation at a bar.

He called her up for a date the very next day having collected her number the previous day. They got engaged in 2005, were married on 21 September 2007 and welcomed a daughter, Alanna Marie Orton on July 12, 2008.
Neither of them cheated, and there was no report of domestic violence, however, Orton had to stay away from the house for many days because of his job. Sam, consequently, had to be in the house all alone for most of the time and this caused cracks in the marriage which in turn led to their separation. They decided to call it quits after five years. Speno filed for a divorce in 2012 citing irretrievably broken marriage. They got separated officially in June 2013.
Their divorce proceedings were smooth as they separated as friends and have remained in good terms. Speno got custody of their child with unlimited visitation rights for Orton.
