Michael C Hall’s off-screen marriage to Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter is over.
Jennifer filed for divorce on Thursday, hours after Michael received a Screen Actors Guild nomination for best actor.
The couple were married on December 31, 2008, and the actress’ filing says they separated in August.
She cited irreconcilable differences for the break-up, but court filings provided no additional details. The two have no children together.
Jennifer is seeking spousal support from Hall, who plays Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who targets other murderers on the hit Showtime series. The show just concluded its fifth season and has been renewed.
Publicists for the former couple and Showtime did not comment on the divorce or how it may affect the show.
Jennifer plays Michael’s sister, a Miami police detective who is often on the trail of her brother’s victims, but does not know he is a killer.
Michael, 39, first earned famed for his role on the HBO series Six Feet Under, which concluded in 2005.
He won a best TV drama actor SAG award in January and thanked his wife during his acceptance speech. His win came while he was battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that attacks the lymph nodes.
Jennifer said in April that he had “fully recovered”.
