Liz Cho and Josh Elliott are locked in a nasty divorce battle after a decade of marriage. In Connecticut court papers, the former CBS anchor filed to end the marriage on June 20, 2025, but their split has turned ugly.

A Decade-Long Romance Comes to a Messy End

Elliott, 54, and Cho, 55, met while working at ABC and got engaged after two years of dating. They said their vows in a Montecito ceremony in July 2015 with 70 close friends and family in attendance. The Eyewitness News anchor has worked for ABC since 2003, while Elliott worked at Good Morning America from 2011 to 2014. Their last public appearance together was in 2016.

Both anchors were previously married with one daughter each from their prior relationships. Cho was married to Evan Gottlieb from 2008 to 2012, while Elliott was married to Priya Narang. Despite their promising start, their marriage has now deteriorated into alleged infidelity claims and property disputes.

The Bitter Court Battle Unfolds Over Documents and Accusations

Cho responded to Elliott’s complaint on November 6, 2025, filing her own cross-complaint and stating their marriage “has broken down irretrievably.” She has requested extensive documentation from Elliott including emails, text messages, social media communications, and financial records from January 1, 2020 onward. Cho is specifically demanding “copies of written correspondence” with any person Elliott has had romantic involvement with outside their marriage.

Elliott objected to many of Cho’s requests, claiming the time frame is unreasonable and harassing. A source close to the couple told Page Six that “this is standard in a divorce” and insisted there is no evidence Elliott had a relationship with anyone outside the marriage. Court documents show Elliott is requesting that Cho’s motion for contempt be denied.

The Furniture, Dogs, and Missing Jewelry Controversy

The divorce escalated dramatically in January 2026 when Cho filed a motion for contempt against Elliott. She claimed that while she was on vacation with her daughter on January 19, 2026, Elliott arranged for a moving truck to come to their marital Connecticut residence. Cho accused him of removing a significant amount of furniture, furnishings, and their two Portuguese Water dogs from the home.

More troubling, Cho stated in court documents, “On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, [Cho] realized that she was missing a valuable watch and earrings from her jewelry bag.” She claims Elliott is the only person with access to these items and believes he is in possession of them. Elliott flatly denied the jewelry accusation, calling it “baseless” and “made without evidence or corroboration.” A source said Elliott took only “a small amount of furniture” and that he took care of the dogs because Cho was “leaving the marital residence for extended periods without communication.”

Elliott’s Defense Claims Hostile Environment and Erratic Behavior

Elliott responded vigorously to Cho’s contempt motion in court filings, claiming her allegations are “false and inflammatory.” He stated, “[Cho] alleges [Elliott] ‘ransacked’ and ‘abandoned’ the marital residence, claims that are patently false and intended to annoy, harass and intimidate [Elliott].” Elliott insisted he removed items solely to furnish a new residence after removing himself from what he described as “a hostile environment created by [Cho],” including erratic behavior directed at both Elliott and his minor child.

Elliott countered with allegations of his own, accusing Cho of “monitoring and listening to [Elliott’s] private phone calls,” “rifling through [Elliott’s] personal belongings and closet,” and other forms of surveillance and harassment. He argues that all property removed remains intact and subject to equitable distribution,” emphasizing that “he removed only limited furniture items, many from the basement.” Both parties have refused to comment through their lawyers.

What’s Next for This Celebrity Crossroads Story?

The couple’s next scheduled court appearance is March 20, 2026, and attorneys for both Cho and Elliott have declined to comment to Page Six. Meanwhile, Elliott’s career has hit a rough patch since his 2017 firing from CBS. Elliott, who worked at NBC briefly before joining CBS in March 2016, was terminated in February 2017 after announcing his departure on air, allegedly blindsiding network executives. However, recent reports suggest Elliott may be eyeing a return to television with a potential role at CBS Mornings. Will the pending divorce ruling impact his professional trajectory?
