Music mogul Scooter Braun has filed for divorce from his wife of seven years Yael Cohen.

The music manager, who has managed the likes of Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande, filed the paperwork in Los Angeles on Wednesday, court records show.

Braun, 40, is seeking joint custody of the now-former couple’s three children.

He has also agreed to pay 34-year-old Cohen, a cancer charity co-founder, spousal support. A pre-nuptial agreement is in place, the filing shows.

Braun and Yael began dating in 2013 and tied the knot a year later. Their date of separation is not stated in the divorce filing.

Earlier this month Braun celebrated their wedding anniversary with a glowing post on Instagram, writing: “7 years. The adventure is just beginning. Thank you Yae. I love you . Happy anniversary.”

He is being represented by celebrity “disso queen” Laura Wasser, whose other high-profile clients include Kim Kardashian West.

Despite his success, Braun is perhaps best known to the wider world for a bitter and public row with Taylor Swift.

In 2019, his company bought the superstar’s old record label and with it the rights to her early master recordings.

Swift accused him of “incessant, manipulative bullying”.

In an interview with Variety last month, Braun said he feels “regret” over the incident.
