“With heavy hearts, Laurence and I quietly separated and began the dissolution of our marriage in the early fall of last year,” Torres told PEOPLE in a statement. “There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected.”

“Happily, however, our family remains intact,” she continued. “And we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe, as well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we’re in this together, if not side by side.”

The couple married in 2002. The Oscar-nominated actor also has two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from a previous marriage: Montana and Langston Fishburne.

TMZ was the first to report the news of the filing.
