Elle and Dakota Fanning's parents have officially called it QUITS after 25 years of marriage

As their daughters rose to stardom, Heather and Steven have confirmed their divorce for the second time but this time there won't be any reconciliation.
PUBLISHED AUG 29, 2018

Dakota and Elle Fanning's parents, Steve and Heather, are now officially restored to their status of singlehood as per the court's ruling on August 24. The actresses' parents, both 51, have been married for almost 25 years, and the two parties have settled in a private "marital settlement agreement" which they are both bound to abide by. 

In 2016, Steven Fanning had filed for a divorce from wife Heather citing their irreconcilable differences as the chief cause for the split. The couple, however, reconciled later. Sadly, this time, it seems the couple has taken a final call on their marriage since the court documents obtained by People state; "marital or domestic partnership status is terminated, and the parties are restored to the status of single persons."
