A spokesperson for the former Friends star said in a statement, "Melissa and Matt LeBlanc have decided to end their marriage of three years. The dissolution is amicable. They remain devoted parents and friends. For the sake of their family, they ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
Papers filed in a Los Angeles court cited irreconciliable differences as the reason for the split. The date noted as the beginning of their separation was last January 1.
LeBlanc, who now stars on television’s Joey, and his wife are the daughter of a two year-old daughter, Marina. The actor was also the step-father of Melissa’s two other children from a previous relationship.
LeBlanc, 38, and Melissa McKnight, 41, were married in Hawaii on May 3, 2003.
