In a marriage that began with promises in Chicago and ended with distance and disconnect, Guadalupe Medrano, Jr. filed for divorce from Cristina Gomez on October 16, 2024, in St. Louis City, Missouri. The couple had been married since April 27, 2017, and separated on June 17, 2024, after more than seven years of partnership. No children were born from the union, and according to the petition, both parties are employed and capable of supporting themselves financially without assistance.

Medrano’s attorney, Maia Brodie of Brodie Law, submitted the petition, stating that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Both Medrano and Gomez will retain their separate property, with the court left to decide how to fairly divide their marital assets and debts. Medrano is asking the court to dissolve the marriage, order each party to cover their own legal fees, and allocate the marital property equitably.
