After almost 10 years of marriage, Casey Affleck's wife Summer Phoenix has finally filed for divorce from the Oscar winning actor.
The couple was married for nine years before they announced their separation in 2016.
The couple has two sons together-Indiana 13, and Atticus 9-and were introduced to each other by Summer's brother Joaquin Phoenix in 2000.
They married in 2006.
"Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix have amicably separated," Affleck's rep told People in 2016, "They remain very close friends".
According to divorce papers filed by the 'the Believer' actress, the couple actually separated in November 2015 due to irreconcilable differences and Phoenix has requested joint physical and legal custody of the children according to TMZ.
Affleck met Summer Phoenix back in the 1990s after he starred alongside her brother, Joaquin, in the movie 'To Die For'.
