Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are getting divorced
Michael C. Hall and his wife Jennifer Carpenter are getting divorced. The couple — who play siblings on the hit Showtime series Dexter — announced Monday that they have called it quits after nearly two years of marriage.
“Having been separated for some time, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall have filed for divorce,” their reps announced in a shared statement to Entertainment Weekly, adding that the split was amicable.
The announcement comes just one day after Carpenter attended Dexter’s fifth season finale party without Hall, who completed treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma earlier this year. The actress famously stood by her man’s side as he battled the disease.
The couple — who began dating in 2007 — announced in January 2009 that they eloped on New Year’s Eve in California.
Hall recently revealed he and Carpenter tried to keep the on-set PDA to a minimum.
“We certainly pride ourselves in being professionals,” he said. “Like I said earlier, we work on the same show but we’re not in every scene together. We don’t see each other on set as often as you’d think.”
