The couple went to Europe after the wedding to celebrate the honeymoon.

Both husband and wife became the co-stars of Supergirl, but Jenner was only a recurring actor. On March 2016, Benoist told a media outlet:

I love working with him. We only have fun working together. He’s my person to act with. He’s my favorite scene partner, always

But things started getting worse, and in December 2016, Benoist filed for divorce from her husband, Blake. She cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the divorce. She didn’t even seek to give spousal support to either party according to the documents.

Melissa Benoist also requested to change her name from Jenner to Benoist. Hence, Melissa became single once again and open to dating another person.
