Mad Men star Christina Hendricks has announced her split from her actor husband of 10 years.
The actress, who played Joan Holloway in the critically-acclaimed TV series, and 500 Days of Summer star Geoffrey Arend announced their separation in a joint statement posted on Instagram.
It read: “Twelve years ago we fell in love and became partners. We joined our two amazing families, had countless laughs, made wonderful friends and were blessed with incredible opportunities.
“Today we take our next step together, but on separate paths. We will always be grateful for the love we’ve shared and will always work together to raise our two beautiful dogs.
“We will be taking time to rediscover ourselves in this transition and we thank you for your patience and support in giving us the space to do so.”
Hendricks, 44, and actor Arend, 41, tied the knot in October 2009 after being introduced by her Mad Men co-star Vincent Kartheiser.
Hendricks found global fame while starring opposite John Hamm in period drama Mad Men, set primarily in the 1960s at a fictional Madison Avenue advertising firm.
It is widely considered one of the greatest TV shows ever.
Her film roles include Drive, Crooked House and Toy Story 4.
