Ethan Klein has pushed back against his estranged wife Hila Klein‘s request for spousal support. The H3 Podcast host recently responded to her divorce filing with financial requests of his own. The couple’s separation follows 14 years of marriage and Hila’s public accusations of infidelity.
Hila Klein’s financial requests in the divorce and Ethan’s response
Ethan doesn’t want either side to receive spousal support as he and Hila work through their divorce. His latest court filing also addresses their children’s custody and the division of property.
According to TMZ, Ethan asked the judge to deny financial support to both himself and Hila. His legal team also wants the court to recognize certain income and assets as his separate property.
This pertains to anything that Ethan had gotten prior to their marriage or even post their divorce. These pleas are yet to be entertained by the court.
Hila filed for divorce on November 2 after 14 years of marriage. She asked for spousal support and wanted Ethan to cover her legal fees. She also requested the restoration of her maiden name, Hacmon.
However, there seems to be consensus between the two on one point: that of joint custody of their three kids. Ethan’s reaction is said to have backed Hila’s claim for custody. October 13, 2026 was cited by both as their divorce date.
Their split follows Hila’s public claims that Ethan had an affair lasting more than six months. In an emotional Instagram statement, she wrote, “I am living in a nightmare I can’t wake up from.”
The allegations also affected the H3 Podcast. Members of the show’s team announced they would no longer work with Ethan and expressed support for Hila.
As for now, the divorce case is still going on. Ethan has already declared his stance regarding spousal support; however, there has been no judgment from the judge concerning the financial demands.
