The couple separated earlier this year after almost two decades of marriage and one child, daughter Stella, 18. But they only made their split public in July.

"After 19 years together, we separated in January, knowing we'd always be a family who loves, values and cares for each other," their joint statement read.

"We recently made the difficult decision to divorce, but we remain close and are deeply grateful for the life we've shared and the wonderful daughter we've raised. P.S. totally crying as we post this."

Gregg — who plays Agent Phil Coulson in the Marvel films and its TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.filed for divorce one month after the announcement.
