Peter Facinelli And Jennie Garth, Divorce papers for Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli have been prepared, TMZ reports, with both actors citing “irreconcilable differences.” According to E! News, the couple filed for divorce simultaneously, both submitting papers to the L.A. County Superior Court on Wednesday.

As Garth told People magazine earlier this week, Facinelli was the one to ask for a divorce, a topic he first brought up last fall. “I was very resistant,” Garth told the magazine. “I didn’t want it to happen. It took me some time to come to peace with it.”

Still, the couple was officially separated as of Jan. 1, 2012 – the date cited on their divorce papers, although sources previously told Us Weekly that Garth and Facinelli, a couple since 1996, had been living apart for even longer. “It’s been over for months, maybe even a year,” a source told the magazine. “They kept up some sort of charade for the kids.”

Garth and Facinelli have three daughters together – Luca, 14, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5 – and, according to their divorce papers, both parents are seeking the same arrangement when it comes to the kids: joint physical and legal custody of the three.
