Hollywood actor Forest Whitaker has filed for divorce from his wife Keisha Nash Whitaker after 22 years of marriage.

Actor Forest Whitaker arrives with his wife Keisha on the red carpet of the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, in Los Angeles, 28 January 2007.

Whitaker, 57, filed divorce documents on Thursday, according to The Blast.

Whitaker met Nash, 46, on the set of “Blown Away” in 1994 where they played each other’s on-screen love interests. The duo then began dating in real life and married two years later in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

The pair shares two daughters together, Sonnet and True, and also each have a child from previous relationships.

})(jQuery);

He cites irreconcilable differences for the split and does not want to pay spousal support.

Whitaker also wants both sides to be responsible for their own legal fees.

Whitaker recently listed their family’s Hollywood Hills two-home compound for $6 million. They originally purchased the estate in 2003 for $2 million.
