Former CBS News anchor Josh Elliott filed for divorce from New York City-based journalist Liz Cho — and details of their messy split are being revealed.
Us Weekly can confirm that Elliott filed for divorce in June 2025. Page Six broke the news of their split months later, in March 2026.
“The marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably,” documents obtained by Page Six read. In Cho’s November 2025 response to the initial filing, she used similar terminology, revealing that their relationship had “broken down irretrievably.”
Elliott and Cho met while they were working at ABC and dated for two years before he proposed to her in August 2014. They got married the following year in a July 2015 ceremony hosted in California. (Elliott was previously married to Priya Narang, with whom he shares daughter Sarina. Cho, meanwhile, split from ex-husband Evan Gottlieb in 2012. They share a daughter, Louisa, born in 2007.)
Neither Elliott nor Cho has spoken publicly about their split.

How Long Were Josh Elliott and Liz Cho Married?The duo were gearing up to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary when Elliott filed for divorce in June 2025.
Details about the reasoning behind their split are currently unclear. However, Page Six reported that Cho requested all correspondence between Elliott and “any person, other than the defendant, with whom [Elliott] have or have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, from July 11, 2015 to the present” in her November 2025 filing. Cho also requested “monthly checking account statements” along with documents regarding his travel history from January 2020.
Elliott has challenged the requests, claiming they are “unreasonable, unnecessary, harassing and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence,” per the docs.
According to a Page Six source, this is a “standard” request, noting that there hasn’t been any evidence that Elliott was unfaithful.
Elliott’s initial filing stated that he was asking for “dissolution of the marriage,” along with “an equitable distribution of all property, both real and personal,” according to Page Six.
Are Josh Elliott and Liz Cho Still Living Together?Following his divorce filing, it appeared that Elliott and Cho were still living in their joint Connecticut home. Cho alleged in January 2026 that Elliott had a moving truck come to their home while she was out of town and moved a “significant amount of furniture and furnishings from the marital residence,” plus their two dogs.
Cho alleged that “a valuable watch and earrings” had also been taken, per documents obtained by Page Six. She claimed that Elliott had possession of the jewelry, which he has denied. Us Weekly has reached out to both Elliott’s and Cho’s teams for comment.
A court hearing is set for March 20, 2026.
