Kate Beckinsale's husband Len Wiseman 'files for divorce'

Len Wiseman has reportedly pulled the plug on his 12-year marriage to Kate Beckinsale.

According to TMZ.com, the Hollywood director has filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences", and neither have applied for spousal support.

The couple are believed to have secretly separated last year, with a source telling People magazine, "They have both had complicated schedules and have grown apart," adding that there was "no drama".

Len was then spotted out sans wedding ring on a series of dates with model CJ Franco, 24, while Kate, 42, was away in Prague shooting Underworld 5.

He was previously married to a kindergarten teacher named Dan, but divorced her soon after meeting Kate on the set of Underworld in 2003.

Around that time, she was still in a relationship with actor Michael Sheen, who she has daughter Lily with. The pair married in May 2004.

“They are still friendly and spend time together in L.A. when Kate is there,” a source tells People mag.

”[Wiseman’s] primary concern in all of this is Lily,“ a second source explained. "He loves his stepdaughter and is there for her."

In January 2012, Kate confirmed that both Michael and Len were on good terms with her daughter.

"The popular notion of how Michael and I broke up - that we were on [the first Underworld] and I ran off with the director - is just not true,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “If that were the case, I think it would be very difficult and peculiar to have an OK situation. But everybody involved has felt that the priority is Lily and wanting to get to a good place for her. And everyone is nice. So it’s not bad.”
