Actress Sara Gilbert has filed for separation from musician Linda Perry, after being married for almost six years.

According to documents obtained by people.com, the 44-year-old actress filed papers for a legal separation on Friday here.

Gilbert has listed their date of separation as August 13, and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

The former "The Talk" co-host has requested for no spousal support to be awarded to either Perry or herself.

The pair share four-year-old son Rhodes Emilio. Gilbert is also mother to Levi Hawk, 15, and Sawyer Jane, 12, from a previous relationship.

Gilbert and Perry walked down the aisle in March 2014 after they began dating in 2011.
