According to court docs exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, the supermodel and the football player submitted their Marital Settlement Agreement on April 19.
Then, on April 28, a New Jersey judge signed off on the Dual Judgment of Divorce, legally making Sterling and Chanel a single man and single woman, respectively.
Per the docs, both parties have “voluntarily agreed to settle all collateral issues including…alimony, custody, child support and equitable distribution.”
Both believed the terms they agreed on were “fair and equitable.”
The exes share joint custody of their two daughters: Cali Clay, 4, and Cassie Snow, 3.
Sterling, New York Giants’ wide receiver, initially filed for divorce in June 2021, citing irreconcilable differences.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively report that the divorce proceedings took nearly two years because scheduled court hearings kept getting pushed back.
At the time of filing, Sterling requested that his house be his daughters’ primary residence and asked that Chanel have “supervised parenting time” with their girls.
In January 2022, TMZ reported Chanel was awarded their once shared home in North Caldwell, NJ, and Sterling was formed to remove his personal items, including his gaming systems, sauna, red light therapy system, and weightlifting and exercise equipment.
The docs stated that Sterling was responsible for her monthly living expenses while she remained in the $1.5million marital home.
The former couple divorced three years after tying the knot in March 2018.
They got married at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles where stars like Chrissy Teigen, Gabrielle Union and Odell Beckham Jr. attended.

BABY NO. 3
During divorce proceedings, Chanel started dating Davon Godchaux, 28, of the New England Patriots.
They went Instagram official in April 2022 after sharing a pic of them cozying up and Davon embracing her.
Davon has a 7-year-old son, Davon Godchaux II, from a previous relationship.
Fast-forward a year, the couple is now welcoming their first child together.
On May 3, they shared the exciting news on Instagram: “Our family is growing and we are so excited to meet our new little one.
“God is great! It’s all been a blessing.”
Davon is currently on a two-year contract with the Patriots.
Meanwhile, Sterling recently re-signed a one-year contract with the Giants with a base salary of $1.3million.
FAMILY DRAMA
In July 2022, Sterling’s mother, Cheri Shepard, appeared to have taken offense to Chanel posting pics of her daughters with Davon’s son.
When one user commented: “Blended [family] I love it,” Cheri responded, “not yet, she is still married, get divorced!”
Another fan of Chanel’s told Cheri, responded, “girl bye.”
This prompted the former Victoria’s Secret Angel to respond with a clapping emoji and a cry-laughing emoji.
The public feud concluded with Cheri’s note: “I’m their grandmother! I would know!”
MOVING ON
The Oklahoma native has also moved on with a new love interest.
He’s now dating Joe Millionaire star Carolyn Moore, 31. She’s also the founder of luxury skincare brand Lion and Loki.
They went Instagram official in March after Sterling shared pics of them together from their Turks & Caicos vacation.
A few weeks later, he shared a video of him stealing a kiss with his new girlfriend during a morning workout session.
Both Sterling and Iman have yet to publicly comment on their divorce, but from the looks of it, they both appear to be happily moving on and staying away from more public drama.
