LOS ANGELES — Heidi Montag may be inching closer to seeking a divorce from Spencer Pratt.
On Tuesday, Montag filed for a legal separation from her husband at the Santa Monica Courthouse, TMZ reports.
Montag, who did not file for a divorce, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. The filing allows the reality starlet to maintain her earnings as separate property moving forward.
In May, the 23-year-old Montag moved out of the couple's home in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
"I needed some alone time," she explained last week to People. "There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space – even away from my husband."
"I had to get away from the lies my family and supposed friends are saying about me," added Montag. "It's time to concentrate on myself."
The reality pair tied the knot in April 2009 at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif.
