Tommy Dorfman Divorcing Husband After 5 Years of Marriage

People Magazine is reporting that "Tommy Dorfman�and her husband, Peter Zurkuhlen, are going their separate ways."�

Zurkuhlen, 33, filed for divorce from Dorfman, 29, in a Los Angeles court Tuesday, according to court records obtained by People.�

The couple met through a mutual friend in 2005, TMZ writes. They became engaged in April 2015 and married in November 2016 in Portland, Maine.

In July 2021, Dorfman posted an IG about her transition after Time Magazine ran an interview> about her process. "At the time," People adds, "she explained how her transition had changed her relationship with her husband."

"Personally, it's wild to be 29 and going through puberty again. Some days I feel like I'm 14. As a result of that shift, the types of romantic partnerships I seek out are different," Dorfman told�Time.�

She explained, "I was in a nine-year relationship in which I was thought of as a more male-bodied person, with a gay man. I love him so much, but we've been learning that as a trans woman, what I'm interested in is not necessarily reflected in a gay man."

"So we've had incredible conversations to redefine our relationship as friends," she said. "Transitioning has been liberating and clarifying."�

At the time of the interview, Zurkuhlen posted on Instagram Stories his support of Dorfman. "So much love. You are gorgeous and you are fully you. Proud of you, T," he wrote, along with a purple heart emoji.
