Tommy Dorfman and Husband Peter Zurkuhlen Divorcing After 5 Years of Marriage

Tommy Dorfman and her husband, Peter Zurkuhlen, are going their separate ways.

Zurkuhlen, 33, filed for divorce from Dorfman, 29, in a Los Angeles court Tuesday, according to court records obtained by PEOPLE.

The 13 Reasons Why Star and Zurkuhlen are divorcing after over five years of marriage. Dorfman and her husband first met through a mutual friend in 2005, according to TMZ. After getting engaged in 2015, they wed in Portland, Maine in 2016.

Dorfman came out as transgender in a July Time magazine profile after "privately identifying and living as a woman" for a year prior. At the time, she explained how her transition had changed her relationship with her husband.

"Personally, it's wild to be 29 and going through puberty again. Some days I feel like I'm 14. As a result of that shift, the types of romantic partnerships I seek out are different," Dorfman told Time.

She explained, "I was in a nine-year relationship in which I was thought of as a more male-bodied person, with a gay man. I love him so much, but we've been learning that as a trans woman, what I'm interested in is not necessarily reflected in a gay man."

"So we've had incredible conversations to redefine our relationship as friends," she said. "Transitioning has been liberating and clarifying."

Shortly after the Time profile was published, Zurkuhlen publicly expressed support for Dorfman on Instagram, where he re-posted a photo from Dorfman's Time photoshoot.

Zurkuhlen captioned the image, "So much love. You are gorgeous and you are fully you," per a screenshot obtained by Just Jared.

Dorfman opened up about life since publicly coming out as transgender in an August InStyle cover story. At the time, she told the magazine she had "never felt better."

"I just switched my hormones, and I've never felt better in my life. I spent 28 years of my life suicidal and depressed and recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't think I've ever been genuinely happy until this past year," Dorfman said.

She added, "I look at the Internet chronicle of photos of me since I started working, and I can see how f------ unhappy I was in every photo. It's wild."

This is shit is what you read on Exodus International-type websites. “I was depressed, I was a drug addict, I was an alcoholic, then I found the Lord and now I’m genuinely happy”.

You can’t deny transgenderism isn’t ex-gay. You just can’t.

Who?

Sounds likes a boiler-plate trans person statement. Nothing controversial. There have always been the boys dying to be girls.

Lots of trannies I've known since 1980 to now have not been antigay and selfhating homophobia wasn't why they became trannies. The last 10 years this is all polluted but it used to be a more clear situation.

by Anonymousreply 11February 4, 2022 12:52 AM

I knew a transwoman back in 2000 and there was nothing remotely homophobic about them, but now, transgenderism is extremely homophobic. And that was the very last trans person I’ve ever known or seen since.

"Hi! I'm a crazy person and my husband has had enough and has run screaming in the other direction, legally!"

Enough time hasn’t passed for this person. When the attention and novelty wear off, he’ll do something even nuttier.

I'm kind of shocked that Tommy is the one who dumped Peter.

I really thought it would have been the other way around.

by Anonymousreply 16February 4, 2022 1:27 PM

Peter filed the papers. Does not say who officially dumped whom. One time I split up with a 15 year bf who was opening having an affair and for some reason everyone assumed he dumped me but you know, I was the one who had to say it was over, now lets divide everything please, settle up, and move on. I was the one who then had to manage all the process. And when I dumped him, he was shocked and said "I thought you would try to seduce me back." So who dumped whom?

I like Peter's face. Handsome fellow. He won't be in the lack of the opportunities.

What great news. A top is back on the market and a bottom is off it.

R19 Look at that photo then look me in the eye and tell me there was a top in that relationship.

And there you have it, people: High-profile Ts like this misbegottem fool honestly believe gender/sex is just a matter of "hormones"; and put that shit all over social and mainstream media. How fucking offensive can you get?

As a female with serious Hyperandrogenism and all its virilizing effects related to PCOS, it NEVER occurred to me I might be the "wrong gender" ( the fuck does that even mean, anyway?).

Gender isn't simply a matter of hormones, and anyone who claims it isn't is a loon.

It was a typo. They meant to type:

"I just switched my hairdo, and I've never felt better in my life."

R15 Like marrying a woman? Because that's what Dorfman is about to do

So Dorfman went from being a gay man to a lesbian?
