Jane Lynch has officially filed for divorce from her wife Dr. Lara Embry.

The Glee star and her spouse of three years announced they were splitting last month, and she filed papers to legally end their marriage in Los Angeles County Court on Friday. The 52-year-old actress cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the couple's split and stated that they have been separated since February, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

After announcing their split in June, Jane released a statement insisting she and Lara still "care very deeply" about one another. "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter," she added.

They first met in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco, California, at which Lara, 44, was receiving an honor. The pair got engaged in 2010 and got married on Memorial Day the same year in an intimate ceremony in Sunderland, Massachusetts.
