Cuba Gooding Jr. and his wife of 20 years, Sara Kapfer, have separated. The couple have three children together.
Kapfer filed the divorce papers on Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court. She asked for joint legal and physical custody of their children and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
TMZ reports the child support situation will likely be determined at a later date.
Gooding Jr. and his now estranged wife were high school sweethearts, getting married in 1994. He gushed about her during an appearance on ABC’s The View last year, noting how wonderful it was to be married for such a long time in a town like Hollywood.
Us Weekly reports he told the ladies, "I got a wonderful lady that knows how to run the household even when I'm not there. [And] we're just blessed with wonderful kids."
Two of their three children are under the age of 18. They have Spencer, 19, Mason, 17, and Piper, 8.
