Actress Selma Blair and actor-rocker Ahmet Zappa are divorcing after two years of marriage.

Blair filed the petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences.

"Selma and Ahmet have decided to divorce but love each other very much and will continue to be close friends," Troy Nankin, spokesperson for the couple, said in a statement exclusive to PEOPLE.

The couple married in January 2004 at the L.A. home of actress Carrie Fisher after dating for six months. "The ceremony was so romantic, beautiful, elegant, a little goofy – exactly like them," a friend told PEOPLE at the time.

Blair, 33, is best known for her roles in 1999's Cruel Intentions and 2001's Legally Blonde. She stars in the upcoming Edward Burns-directed film Purple Violets alongside Debra Messing.

The 32-year-old Zappa – son of the late musician Frank Zappa – will next release a children's book, The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless, on July 25.

The marriage was the first for both. They have no children.

The Year of The Divorces

What's the Hollywood divorce rate, 85%?

What's the Hollywood divorce rate...?

$10,000,000 in alimony payments is probably the bargain basement deal.

Dang! For that, I might consider a 1 year marriage to Richard Simmons!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I heard he's not interested

 

[mayim]

I thought they were cute.

"What's the Hollywood divorce rate, 85%?"

more like 95%. I think marrying after dating a few months is never a good idea. I'm amazed these 2 lasted so long.

 

[tastes_like_chic]

That sucks - they seemed like one of the more "down to earth" couples in hollywood.

What? LOL I never knew she was even married! Where the hell have I been?

Apparently the same place where I've been!

I had no clue.

For some reason this is a couple that I thought would last..

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Since he's kind of a non-celeb, I did think it would last too.

 

[*Happiness*]

only dated for 6 months??? That's a sign right there. But hey...I hope they are happy and will continue to be happy even if they are divorced.

 

[ShuggaStiletto]

^ I agree...6 months is a short amount of time!!

I feel badly for them, I really like Selma...hope everything works out for them though.

 

[lemeray]

She was married!?

 

[Little Voice]

That's a shame.
I like Selma Blair; I hope their split isn't too rough.
