    Ben Foster has filed for divorce from Laura Prepon

    The 44-year-old actor married the 'Orange is the New Black' actress in June 2018 but they have now gone their separate ways, and paperwork filed by the 'X Men: The Last Stand' star noted the former couple actually split over a year ago


    According to People magazine, Ben cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and stated he and Laura - who are parents to Ella, seven, and a four-year-old son whose name hasn't been publicly disclosed - are no longer able to "live together successfully as husband and wife".

    The actor listed their date of separation as 9 September, 2023.

    He also asked the court to make an "equitable division" of their marital assets and debts and to incorporate their "marital dissolution agreement and agreed parenting plan" as per the prenuptial agreement they signed before they got married.

    Ben asked for him and Laura, also 44, to pay their own attorney fees and to divide any other court costs equally.

    The pair were friends for a long time before their relationship turned romantic in July 2016. They got engaged just three months later and their first child was born the following summer.

    The former 'That '70s Show' actress announced in June 2018 she and Ben had got married, sharing a photo from the big day on Instagram.

    She wrote at the time: "Just Married! Thank you for all the love and support. Wishing all of us the good stuff!"

    Laura took to Instagram again in 2020 to reveal she had given birth to their second child.

    Sharing a picture of herself gazing down at her little boy as she kissed his hand, she wrote: "Welcoming home our new bundle of love. Overwhelmed with gratitude. [four heart emojis] (sic)"
