Bristol Palin's husband of less than two years has filed for divorce, according to People and TMZ.

Dakota Meyer, a former U.S. Marine and Medal of Honor recipient, attempted to keep the media glare at bay by using only his and Palin’s initials in the court documents, which People obtained and posted Wednesday.

The reason for their separation? "Discord or conflict of personalities ... that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation,” the documents state. The paperwork was filed on Jan. 29 in a Travis County court in Austin.

Meyer, 29, and Palin, 27, married in June 2016 and have two young daughters together, Atlee Bay, 9 months, and Sailor Grace, 2.

After initially calling off their wedding, Palin and Meyer married six months after Sailor's birth, following public arguing over the collapse of their engagement in 2015, plus paternity and child-support issues.

Meyer is still featured in a family photo on Palin's website, and one day ago Palin appeared cheery on her Instagram account, wishing her mother, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, a happy birthday.

On Jan. 7, Meyer posted a family photo on his Instagram with the caption, "What matters."

But in recent pictures on the couple's Instagram accounts, neither is wearing a wedding ring.

Palin also has a 9-year-old son, Tripp, from her relationship with Levi Johnston.

Since announcing her teenage pregnancy during her mother's 2008 vice presidential run, Palin has fashioned herself as a voice of conservative Christian values. On her website, she describes herself as "Pro Life, Pro God, and Pro Guns."

A recent post railed against the cancellation of a father-daughter dance in New York City over a new gender-neutral policy. "Again and again, liberalism actually hurts girls," she wrote.

A rep for Palin had no comment when reached by USA TODAY.
