Letourneau gained infamy after her 1997 conviction for second-degree child rape of 12-year-old Vili Fualaau.
She was a 34-year-old mother of four when the rape occurred.
Letourneau was pregnant with her former students child at the time of her conviction.
She was paroled in 1998 and barred from contacting Fualaau.
But she returned to prison to serve the remainder of a seven-year sentence after they were found together shortly after her release.
They were married in 2005 and had two children.
In 2017, Fualaau, then 33, filed a petition for legal separation.
Letourneau filed to have the petition dismissed, and People magazine reported in 2018 that they reconciled after splitting up.
