On May 17, 2009, the two reportedly got married in a lavish ceremony at TV producer Ed Weinberger's Los Angeles mansion.
The same year, on October 16, the former couple also welcomed their first daughter, Isabella Amour Watson. The actress was 23 years old.
Watson surprised everyone when he filed legal papers in Los Angeles over a year later, claiming his wife had violently attacked him during a late-night fight on August 1.
He claimed he became suspicious after Freeman received a text message around 11 p.m. When he took her phone to check the message, an angry Freeman allegedly reacted by hitting him "forcefully twice in the face with her right open hand."
The actress then allegedly grabbed the basketball pro's right wrist and bit down, "breaking the skin, leaving teeth marks and drawing blood." He also shared that once she let go of his wrist, she proceeded to bite down his chest.
After the attack, Watson initially requested a divorce from Freeman, but he later withdrew his divorce petition with "plans to make their marriage work." However, the latter plan didn't go well either, as their growing difference led to their divorce in the next year.
