George Lopez's Wife Files for Divorce
NEW YORK (CBS/AP) George Lopez and his wife of 17 years are making their breakup official with her filing for divorce.
Ann Serrano Lopez filed her petition, citing irreconcilable differences, on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
The pair announced their breakup in September and said they would remain partners in their philanthropic organization, The Lopez Foundation. They have a 14-year-old daughter, Mayan, and Ann Lopez is seeking physical custody.
The filings do not offer any additional details about the split.
The two married in 1993 and did not list a separation date.
The filing was first reported by TMZ.
The 49-year-old comedian hosts the talkshow "Lopez Tonight" on TBS.
In 2005, Ann Lopez famously donated a kidney to her husband. At the time, he told People, "I can't pay her back, but what I can do is make her as happy as she thought I would when we first got married."
