Just a week after "Cosby Kid" Keshia Knight Pulliam announced she was pregnant, presumably with husband Ed Hartwell's child, the former NFL player filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia.

The two have only been married since the beginning of the year -- and they began dating just last year.

Straight From the A posted the court filing from earlier Tuesday, but theYBF broke the story. The paperwork says it's "contested," meaning she isn't approving the divorce.

Hartwell's motivations are unclear, but the timing is interesting considering Pulliam is due to give birth in January.

Hartwell was married for several years to Lisa Wu and appeared on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" in 2008 and 2009.
