The case is said to be classified as a “dissolution with no minor children” because the couple had no children together, but Masters has a son from a previous marriage.
The couple became engaged after Marsters Rahman proposed romantically in May 2010 in Trier, Germany, where she is said to have studied fashion.
The former couple reportedly met at a concert in Amsterdam a few years earlier – and married in Los Angeles in January 2011.

In 2006, he told People magazine about their meeting, saying, “I met her backstage and got her phone number, but then my jeans got cleaned by the crew and they threw them away.”
He continued: “I had given her my number but she wrote down one digit wrong. It took her six months to call all the different combos.”
Marsters was previously married to Liane Davidson and the couple have one son together, Sullivan, 24.
The actor ended his marriage to Davidson in 1997 after eight years together.
