‘Bachelorette’ Alum DeAnna Pappas’ Ex-Husband Stephen Stagliano Reveals Uber Driver Income in Child Support Battle (Exclusive)

Former Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas’ ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano, revealed the monthly income he makes while driving Uber as they fight over child support, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

On September 30, Stagliano, 41, filed court docs revealing his financial situation months after being accused of owing Pappas, 43, more than $20,000 in back child support.

In his filing, Stagliano said he works as an Uber driver. He said he works around 10-15 hours per week and earns around $22 per hour. He said he has a college degree in history education and a master’s in education. Stagliano said that he earned $436.43 in August, but he earns on average around $650 per month ($462 of that was from unemployment).

“My only sources of income are from unemployment and driving Uber. My last paycheck was $3,750 from Story Games on March 1, 2025,” he told the court. Stagliano worked for a video company that ran out of funding earlier this year.

Stagliano said he had $10,089 in cash and in his bank account but did not have any other money or property. He said his monthly expenses totaled $7,437, including $4,300 on rent, $500 on groceries, $100 on eating out, $150 on clothes, $300 on auto expenses, $1,000 on credit card debt and another $314 on a Ford Escape.

He added, “I am actively looking for a job. I have applied to over 150 jobs in various industries with no success. I drive Uber to generate income when I can. I have paid $1,500 in alimony to [Pappas] every single? month.”

On Friday, October 3, Pappas filed her own income and expense declaration, revealing she lost her job as a flight attendant for a California-based company in June. She had been working in the field since 2011.

She said she earned no income last month due to her unemployment. “I continue to actively look for work,” Pappas told the court. She was earning over $16,000 a month from her job.

She said she was paid $1,500 in spousal support from Stagliano and $1,755 in workers’ compensation.

Pappas noted she started an LLC for podcasting and launched her own show, “Dishin With D,” but has yet to make any revenue.

She said she had around $95,000 in cash and bank accounts and another $20,000 in personal property.

The former reality star said her monthly expenses include $4,500 on rent, $1,350 on health care $700 on groceries, $400 on eating out, $300 on utilities, $230 on cell phone, $50 on laundry, $250 on clothes, $250 on entertainment, $300 to charity and various other bills for a total of $10,030 per month in expenses.

Pappas listed her debt as $17,000 on a Visa credit card and another $3,456 on a Mastercard credit card.

The exes are currently sharing custody of their two kids.

As Us first reported, Pappas accused her ex of owing $23,000 in back child support in June. She opposed his plea to modify the $2,500 in support payments he was ordered to pay.

Pappas spoke to Us after scoring a big victory in court in June when a judge decided the exes would share joint custody.

She told Us, “The last few years — especially the past few months — have been some of the most challenging of my life. Throughout it all, I’ve remained committed to prioritizing my physical and mental health so I can be the best version of myself for my two children. I’m deeply grateful to the judge who took the time to truly listen and understand our situation.”

She added, “This decision brings peace, hope, and most importantly, the chance to continue being present in my children’s lives — where I belong. I am thankful for a fair and just process rooted in the facts, for my legal team, and for everyone who stood by me during this journey. Love wins and I’m moving forward with hope and strength for all that the Lord has in store for me. I am overwhelmed with gratitude.”

In August, Pappas spoke to Us exclusively about dating after her divorce.

“I’ve had my fair share of heartache — some of which played out on national television when I was just a freaking kid — and a lot of that was in my marriage and in divorce,” Pappas told Us. “I won’t allow any of that to break who I am. I just won’t, because I believe in partnership and I believe in companionship, and at the end of the day, to be honest, I believe there is someone out there for me.”
