The Smallville actress Erica Durance’s marriage of nearly 20 years is officially over.
Durance has finalized her divorce from her husband David Palffy, her rep told TMZ on Tuesday.
But the actress, who played Lois Lane on Smallville, may have now found her own Clark Kent after revealing over the weekend that she is seeing a new man.
The latest shakeup for the cast of Smallville comes after the series’ star Tom Welling was arrested for a DUI in Northern California earlier this year.
Durance’s rep revealed that she and Palffy had finalized their divorce last year, and since then she has already moved on to a relationship with a new man.
The actress was first reported to have separated from her then-husband in April 2023.
