While no official reason has been given for the split, website TMZ claims 56-year-old Griffith filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences".

It added that the actress is also looking sole physical custody and joint legal custody of the couple's daughter, 17-year-old Stella, with visiting rights for Banderas.

Griffith is also rumoured to be seeking financial support from her estranged spouse.

Griffith and Banderas married in May 1996 and have one child together. This will be the second divorce for Banderas, who separated from Spanish actress Ana Leza in 1996 after eight years of marriage; while Griffith has been divorced three times before. Among her former husbands, is actor Don Johnson, whom she tied the knot with twice.
