Eddie Murphy’s wife has filed for divorce.

Nicole Murphy cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court as the cause.
The couple has been separated since July.

“The welfare of our children is our main concern, and their best interest is our first priority,” Eddie Murphy, 44, said in a statement released through his publicist, Paul Bloch.

Married for twelve years, the Murphy’s have five children, ages three to 15. Eddie also had one child from a previous relationship.

According to Extra, Nicole is seeking custody of the children and is seeking spousal support.

She has hired famed divorce attorney Neal Hersh, who has represented Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger in previous divorce cases.
