On January 19, Ewan McGregor filed for divorce from Eve Mavrakis, his wife of 22 years, TMZ reports. This comes after months of rumours that the couple have split and Ewan is now dating one of his Fargo co-stars.

 

The Moulin Rouge! star cited irreconcilable differences and is seeking joint custody of their three daughters who are still minors.

 

Ewan and Eve are parents to four girls: Clara, 21, Jamyan, 16, Esther, 15, and Anouk, six.

 

The 46-year-old actor and Eve met on the set of Kavanagh QC back in 1995. Eve was working as a production designer for the TV series.

The divorce filing comes after Ewan's Golden Globes speech in which he thanked both Eve and his 33-year-old girlfriend.

 

"I want to take a moment to just say thank you to Eve, who always stood by me for 22 years, and my four children Clara, Esther, Jamyan and Anouk," he said after winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for Television.

 

He later continued, "There wouldn’t have been Emmit Stussy without David Thewlis and Michael Stuhlbarg and Carrie Coon and there wouldn’t have been a Ray without Mary Elizabeth Winstead."

 

We wish their family all the best during this difficult time.
