Maria Bello files for divorce from French chef wife Dominique Crenn after one year of marriage
Maria Bello has filed for divorce from French chef Dominique Crenn.
The Coyote Ugly star, 58, is calling it quits on her marriage with Dominique, 60, after one year, according to TMZ.
The actress filed for divorce on Wednesday, listing April 7 as their separation date, precisely one year after they said 'I do.'
Maria cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split.
The star confirmed there are no child custody or support matters to resolve, since the two have no minor children together.
It's unclear if the estranged pair signed a prenup.

Maria is requesting that mediation costs be shared with her estranged wife, and states that spousal support terms are to be outlined in a separate written agreement.
The actress first went public with Dominique in 2020, announcing that they had gotten engaged the previous year.
In April 2024, they were both seen flashing their rings at the Time 100 Gala, leading to speculation they had already exchanged vows.
The two confirmed their wedding last May, with Maria revealing she and Dominique held their 'bohemian, chic' nuptials in Cabo San Lucas with 140 loved ones in attendance.
Their guest list included Mariska Hargitay, Gavin Rossdale, Vanessa Getty and Oscar-winner Patricia Arquette, Maria told People.
The pair spent a chunk of their engagement in Mexico during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and the nation became their 'home away from home,' they said.
For their venue, they selected the Montage Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, which they fell in love with in part because of the 'stunning' vistas on view.
During the ceremony, Dominique arrived to the Prince song KISS, accompanied by her 10-year-old daughters from a previous marriage and by her ex-mother-in-law, who is the children's grandmother.
Maria then appeared to Burna Boy's Time Flies, along with her son Jackson McDermott, 23, whom she had with studio executive Dan McDermott.
For her grand entrance at her wedding ceremony, Maria was also joined by her mother Kathy Bello, a teacher and nurse.
Dominique, the first woman chef to earn three Michelin stars in the United States, got engaged to Maria in December 2019 while on holiday in Paris.
Early in their relationship, the couple weathered a frightening storm together when Dominique was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Dominique — who served as a consultant for the Ralph Fiennes film, 'The Menu' — recalled that upon hearing the news, Maria told her: 'I'm here and I'm going to be here for all the time during the time of this.'
'Listen, I just knew. I just knew and so did she,' Maria explained to People, saying she had 'never smiled as much' before as she did during her time with Dominique.
They announced their engagement at Elton John's Oscars viewing party in February 2020, and later that night posed side by side at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
In 2013 Maria wrote about love in a New York Times essay. She was dating Clare Munn at the time; they were together from 2011 until 2016.
'I didn't think of it as romantic or sexual,' she wrote. 'She was one of the most beautiful, charming, brilliant and funny people I had ever met.'
'But it didn't occur to me that we could perhaps choose to love each other romantically.' She also said, 'Love is love.'
The blonde beauty has also dated McDermott - from 1999 to 2006 - and together they have son Jackson.
Bellow was with Bryn Mooser from 2008 until 2010.
After Maria split from Munn in 2016, she also dated Elijah Allan-Blitz.

Johnny Depp: My friends betrayed me
Johnny Depp, the Hollywood actor, has claimed he was betrayed by his friends after being accused of abuse by his ex-wife Amber Heard. The strongly denied claims were first levelled against Depp, 62, by Heard during divorce proceedings in 2016. The actor's failed marriage to the 39-year-old actress made international headlines when details of alleged violence between the pair were aired in courts in the UK and US. Depp has now criticised the behaviour of several close friends at the time and also claimed he had been a 'crash test dummy for the #MeToo movement'. 'I'll tell you what hurts. There are people, and I'm thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties, throwing them in the air,' he told The Sunday Times. 'And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice.' One individual who spoke out against Depp despite their long working relationship was Tracey Jacobs, his agent of 30 years, who was sacked in 2016. She claimed during Depp's legal battles that studios were 'reluctant' to hire him because of his lateness. Depp said of Jacobs: 'My loyalty is the last thing anybody could question. I was with one agent for 30 years, but she spoke in court about how difficult I was.' His image came under global scrutiny when he brought a libel case against The Sun newspaper after he was described as a 'wife-beater' in a column. Numerous alleged details of the couple's marriage were made public during the case, including claims of the actor having a finger severed, being struck by Heard, passing out drunk and finding her faeces in their bed. Depp said he felt compelled to risk revealing details of his personal life, adding: 'Look, it had gone far enough. I knew I'd have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying 'It'll go away'. But I can't trust that.' While a judge ruled against Depp in his High Court case against The Sun, the star won damages for defamation from Heard in June 2022 following a legal battle in the US. But the allegations of abuse levelled against Depp by Heard continued to dog the film star, whose presence at the Cannes film festival in 2023 was opposed by several feminist groups in France. Following a period away from major Hollywood productions, Depp has this year been working on his comeback film Day Drinker. In the thriller, Depp will star as a mysterious guest on a private yacht who finds himself entangled with a criminal, played by Penelope Cruz.
