A statement released by Charlie's rep says that the former couple, "remain close friends and their family is the priority and will continue to be."

Documents filed with the court claim that the marriage had "become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

Charlie and Emily were married on May 1, 1999. They have three children together — Charles "Gus" Augustus, 5, and 3-year-old twins Julianna Tex and Henry Benjamin.
