11 Years Later: Ayla Woodruff Finally Makes It Official

Sometimes life takes you in a direction you never expected, and legal paperwork just has to catch up eventually. That’s essentially what’s happening with influencer Ayla Woodruff, who filed for divorce last week from Bar Slilat—a marriage that’s been over in every meaningful way for more than a decade.

Here’s the timeline: Ayla and Bar got married on January 21, 2014, separated just over a year later on May 15, 2015, and have been living separate lives ever since. That’s eleven years of separation before she finally made the legal split official. The divorce filing cites irreconcilable differences, which honestly feels like stating the obvious at this point.

But the real story here is why she’s doing it now. Ayla’s been building a whole different life in the meantime—one that includes influencer and content creator Kian Lawley. The two have a son who’s about to turn three, they’re expecting their second child together, and they got engaged in November. To move forward with remarriage, Ayla needed to actually be legally single. So the wheels started turning, and last week she finally filed the paperwork to make it official.

In the divorce docs, Ayla made clear there were no children with Bar and checked the box to waive any spousal support claims. It’s a clean break from a relationship that’s been over since before social media influencing was even a recognized career path. The whole situation is a reminder that sometimes life moves faster than the legal system—and sometimes you just have to wait for the paperwork to catch up with reality. For Ayla, that wait is finally over.
