Recently, Bill Stax re-shared a post from his now ex-wife, referred to as A, on Instagram. The photos showed the two smiling brightly in front of a courthouse, flashing peace signs and leaving cheerful remarks about their separation. The caption even referred to the occasion as an “Divorce Awards Ceremony,” with the pair joking, “We shouldn’t come to court anymore. This is the last time. Have you ever seen a divorced couple like this?” In the post, Bill Stax also made a controversial hand gesture toward the camera.
Bill Stax had maintained a common-law marriage with A, who is 10 years younger than him, for eight years before their relationship ultimately ended. During their time together, he often shared glimpses of family life, including raising his son from his first marriage with actress Park Hwan Hee. Bill Stax and Park Hwan Hee married in 2011 but divorced by mutual agreement in 2013, with custody of their son awarded to Bill Stax.
His remarriage to A had already sparked controversy in the past. While Bill Stax was embroiled in a legal dispute with Park Hwan Hee, A publicly criticized the actress on social media, escalating tensions into a highly publicized feud.
As news of his second divorce spread, public reaction has been largely negative. Many netizens criticized what they perceived as an attempt to “showcase” the divorce online, calling out the finger gesture and what they described as repeated reckless behavior.
Online comments ranged from disbelief to frustration. Some wrote, “If you were going to divorce anyway, why attack the child’s mother back then?” Others questioned the need for provocative gestures, while some bluntly stated that the situation was “not cool at all.” A recurring sentiment among commenters was that while divorce itself is no longer heavily stigmatized in modern society, treating it like a celebratory event—especially when children are involved—felt inappropriate.
Critics also pointed out the irony of presenting the separation as something to be proud of, suggesting that social media culture may be distorting common sense boundaries.
As the debate continues, Bill Stax’s second divorce has once again placed his private life under public scrutiny—this time not for the breakup itself, but for the way it was displayed to the world.
