Celebrity couples here and there are breaking up and divorcing. This is why those who believe that love in Hollywood is just a myth cannot be blamed. This time, another pair of Hollywood celebrity couple are heading for divorce.

Film director, screenwriter and producer, Len Wiseman had filed for divorce from British television and film actress Kate Beckinsale. According to TMZ, Wiseman has cited irreconcilable differences on his divorce papers as the reason behind the unfortunate split.

The couple has been married for 12 years. Although they had not produced a child together, Wiseman is a stepfather to 17-year-old Lily Mo Sheen, Beckinsale's daughter from fellow actor and former partner Michael Sheen.

According to Hollywood Life, the couple first saw each other on the set of the film Underworld in 2003, where the 43-year-old actress played the vampire Death Dealer character, Selene and Wiseman served as the director of the action horror film. They eventually fell in love and married a year after in Bel-Air, California.

It was reported that Beckinsale had persuaded the 43-year-old film director to include her then-partner Michael Sheen in the film, but while on set, the two had fallen in love instead. Wiseman had also filed for divorce from his wife that time to pursue and marry the actress later on.

According to Hello Magazine, it has been revealed that the former couple had long been separated since November. A source said that they were still friendly with each other and that there has been no presence of any drama around them. Additionally, the former couple had reportedly waived any right to spousal support, thus suggesting that they had a pre-nuptial agreement prepared.

Meanwhile, Beckinsale and Wiseman both have something to look forward to for the incoming year. The actress will star in the upcoming 2017 film Underworld: Blood Wars, which her former husband co-wrote and co-produced.
