It has been confirmed by TMZ.com that Jennifer Carpenter, co-star and wife of Michael C. Hall, filed a petition for divorce Wednesday afternoon citing “irreconcilable differences”.

It must be pretty awkward to play brother and sister on Dexter. We’ve seen the demise of c0-star love before with Chad Michael Murray and Sofia Bush who star in One Tree Hill. Celebrities really don’t take the lesson, “don’t sh*t where you eat” to heart.

Too bad, Hall and Carpenter made a good couple.

Julia Stiles is also denying reports of her alleged role in the break up. Stiles apparently got “close” to Hall while shooting this season. However, the couple has been separated since August.

Hopefully there isn’t too much tension on set for the next season of Dexter.

They play brother and sister on the show “Dexter,” but they will now become divorcees in the real world. TMZ is reporting that Jennifer Carpenter will be filing for divorce against Michael C. Hall this week.

Sources tell TMZ the couple have apparently been separated for “some time.”

Stay tuned for further details!

When your television series is about a loveable serial killer, what’s a little more controversy?

According to Page Six.com, Michael C. Hall, star of HBO’s “Dexter,” is dating his on-screen sister, Jennifer Carpenter. The site reports that the two have been seen on various dates looking “cozy” together, including going out for breakfast early on a Saturday morning.

Hall filed for divorce from his wife last year.
