Jenny McCarthy and her husband John Asher have filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, her publicist said Friday.
The TV star and former Playboy playmate had been married to Asher for six years.
McCarthy, 32, married Asher, a 34-year-old film director, in September 1999. They met when Asher directed McCarthy in the 1999 film “Diamonds.”
The couple has a 3-year-old son, Evan.
