Bradley Whitford, Jane Kaczmarek File for Divorce After Nearly 17 Years

TV vets Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek filed divorce papers on Friday in Los Angeles, People reports. The couple married in August 1992.

"[Bradley] hopes the media will respect their wish for privacy as they focus on their children," Whitford's rep tells People.

Whitford and Kaczmarek have three children: Frances Genevieve, 12, George Edward, 9, and Mary Louisa, 6.

Whitford is well-known for his long run on TV's The West Wing, and recently finished filming Joss Whedon's big-screen spooker The Cabin in the Woods. Kaczmarek followed up playing mom to Malcolm in the Middle with her current role on TNT's Raising the Bar.
