Jennifer Carpenter files for divorce

Jennifer Carpenter has filed her for divorce from husband Michael C. Hall. According to TMZ, Carpenter cites “irreconcilable differences” in the petition filed in L.A. County Superior Court.

The date of separation is listed as August 9, 2010.

Carpenter is also asking for spousal support and for attorney’s fees.

The Dexter costars — who wed back in 2008 — have no children.

Insiders on the set of Dexter recently told Access Hollywood that the pair had been squabbling for some time, with the 39-year-old actor — who successfully battled cancer earlier this year — speaking at length about their problems.

Despite the claims, Michael has previously insisted his relationship with Jennifer, 31, did not affect their work.

“We certainly pride ourselves in being professionals,” he said. “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.”

Michael was previously married to theater actress Amy Spanger for five years until 2006.
