American film producer Jacob Pechenik has filed for divorce from his wife Zooey Deschanel after four years of marriage citing ‘irreconcilable differences’, according to reports obtained from the court. The 47-year-old filmmaker has filed a dissolution of marriage with minor children petition at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Couple makes a joint statement
The famous Hollywood couple has two children, 4-year-old Elsie Otter and 2-year-old Charlie Wolf. In September, the former couple confirmed to have split in a joint statement. The statement said that after thorough discussions and a long period of contemplation, they mutually decided that they are better off as friends, business partners, and co-parents rather than life partners.
