Naomi and Ryan, 53, share one child, Isla Raddon, 14.
According to the filing, Naomi is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their daughter. She is also asking the court to hold Ryan responsible for spousal support and her legal fees.
“Petitioner [Naomi] will list and itemize any and all separate assets and obligations as and when the same are fully ascertained, and/or will seek leave to amend this Petition accordingly, and/or will list such separate assets and debts in her Declaration of Disclosure,” the dissolution of marriage states.
In a June 2023 profile of the “I Remember” hitmaker, Deseret News stated that Kaskade met Naomi — who happens to be a helicopter pilot — through mutual friends at a show in Provo, Utah, while taking classes at the University of Utah.
The pair bonded over their shared love of snowboarding, per the outlet.

“Honestly, my story begins there,” he told the outlet of his very first gig as a DJ in a downtown venue called Club Manhattan.
“I made, like, $300 or something,” Ryan said. “I was like, ‘They pay me to play records? This is insane. This is what I’m supposed to do with my life.’ ”
