The wife of Vanilla Ice has filed for divorce after almost 20 years of marriage.

TMZ has reported that Laura Van Winkle filed court docs earlier this week to end her marriage to the rapper, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle. Although she just filed the paperwork, sources said that they have not been together for years.

It is unclear what led to Laura filing now, but she stayed with him in the past after he was arrested for domestic violence.

The 48-year-old entertainer released a statement on Wednesday, Oct. 19, in which he said, "this is a personal matter with my family and we ask for respect of our privacy.”

The pair married in 2007 and have two daughters, Dusti Rain, 18 and KeeLee Breeze, 16, together.

Ice appeared on this season's Dancing With the Stars, but he and his professional partner were eliminated on the fourth week of competition.
