However, he wants any earnings he has made since their official legal separation date to be his and not split with his ex.
This means Sara would not be able to get any of the money since his career revival post American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson.
This is despite the fact just last year the star admitted he was still dating his estranged wife.

He told Steve Harvey about his split: 'Listen, you know how things happen. Things happen, you grow up…
'I took my wife on a date the other day. Took her to see a movie the other day. Yeah. We got kids, man. We got to keep this together, strong, you know? That's how I see it.'
The pair were high school sweethearts and tied the knot in 1994
