Zooey Deschanel’s Estranged Husband Jacob Pechenik Files for Divorce

Zooey Deschanel‘s estranged husband has filed for divorce.

On Friday, Oct. 18, Jacob Pechenik signed his divorce petition, which was filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County, according to court records obtained by PEOPLE.

Pechenik cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reasoning for his filing against Deschanel, 39. The date of separation is listed as Jan. 8, 2019.

The New Girl star and the producer had been married for almost four years and share two children together: daughter Elsie, 4, and son Charlie, 2.

According to the divorce filing, Pechenik has requested joint legal and physical custody of their kids.

Deschanel, 39, and Pechenik, 47, met on set of the Bill Murray comedy Rock the Kasbah. They confirmed their engagement in January 2015 and got married that summer, around the same time they welcomed their first child, Elsie, in July 2015.

In early September, the former couple announced their split, explaining in a joint statement that they are “better off as friends.”

“After much discussion and a long period of contemplation we have decided we are better off as friends, business partners and co-parents rather than life partners,” a rep for the couple told PEOPLE. “We remain committed to our business, our values and most of all our children. Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time.” – Source
