There are marriages that arrive like spring — bright, expectant, brimming with the promise of permanence. But sometimes, before the petals even open, the season shifts. So it was for Alexandria Russell and Brian Schroeder, whose brief union, sealed on May 29, 2024, in St. Louis County, now faces its quiet unraveling. On October 21, 2025, Alexandria filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, represented by Attorney Rachel S. Gray of Kallen Law Firm, LLC.
In her petition, Alexandria stated that their marriage, though intact in residence, had already frayed beyond repair. The couple has no children, and neither seeks maintenance from the other. Their finances, once shared, are to be divided under the terms of a prenuptial agreement — a document that, once a formality, now serves as a script for their separation. Both parties are said to be capable of supporting themselves, and the petitioner affirmed that no pregnancy complicates the closure of their bond.
The filing rests on a single, resonant line: that “there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved.” In that assertion lies the quiet acknowledgment of love’s frailty — how swiftly it can dissolve, even when two people remain under the same roof. The petition now awaits the court’s decree to finalize what time and truth have already undone: a marriage that, in less than a year, reached both its beginning and its end.
