The Black Panther star, 57, filed for divorce on Thursday, December 27, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly, and cited irreconcilable differences. He also expressed his desire to not pay spousal support and for each party to separately handle their own legal fees.

Whitaker and Nash, 46, met while starring as onscreen lovers in the 1994 flick Blown Away.

In 2009, he also opened up about his parenting style, telling Parade that he considers himself a “tough love” kind of dad. “They come to me when they’re trying to slip something by,” he told the publication at the time, noting that Nash was “must stronger” with their children. “I have to always take a pause when they come and say, ‘Hey dad, is it OK if we do this? So I just look at them, like, ‘Have you talked to your mom about that?’ They know I’m the easy one.”
