Former New Kid on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg and his wife are ending their nearly 9 year marriage.
Wahlberg and Kim Fey Wahlberg each filed for divorce separately last Wednesday in separate L.A. counties. In her petition Kim cited "irreconcilable differences."
Donnie, 39, is the older brother of actor Mark Wahlberg. The divorce filing comes as he prepares to tour with a newly reunited New Kids on the Block.
He has also appeared in several movies, including The Sixth Sense and most recently, Righteous Kill, set to hit theaters in September.
The couple have two sons, ages 15 and 7.
