Data about Tia Carrere and Elie Samaha from Divorce Records

After eight years of living together, Tia Carrere filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court. Irreconcilable differences were cited as the main cause of the breakup. Apparently, the marriage started to crumble halfway when Carrere was getting bigger in Hollywood while Samaha continued to make movies that did not quite make it in the feature list.

Although Samaha let his wife star in most of his movies, it was a blow for him to see that Carrere would make an impact in the ones which he didn't make. It was creating a strain in their marriage since Samaha was always feeling low despite his wife's other film achievements.

In public divorce records, Samaha was reportedly a jealous guy who would not allow Carrere to do daring scenes necessary to her role in some movies. He would also constantly check on her at work and unconsciously pressure her to choose between her rising career and the marriage. Carrere obviously got tired of all the nonsense and decided to call it quits bringing their case to court.

She stated that it was a hard decision for her to let go of an eight-year relationship but things just weren't going towards the right direction if they stayed together. The couple also admitted that they had conflicting views regarding starting a family of their own. Perhaps the producer wanted to settle down later on during the marriage but the actress seemed to still be interested in her work.
