Divorce and Legal Battles
Simon and Tamra's separation was officially announced during the show's fifth season in early 2010, when Simon filed for divorce, accusing Tamra of abuse and infidelity. Their divorce and custody battle over their three children—Sophia, Sydney, and Spencer—became a focal point both on and off the screen. Simon was initially against having his children appear on the show, which created further conflicts.

Currently, he serves as the National Sales Director for Universal Dealers Consultants, a consulting and software company for auto dealers. The company's clients include prestigious names like Mercedes-Benz USA, BMW USA, Fletcher Jones Group, Bill Jacobs Auto Group, and Soave Auto Group.
