Jesse Williams and Aryn Drake-Lee are divorcing after about five years of marriage.

Jesse Williams and his wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, are splitting up, People and E! News report.

The Grey's Anatomy star and his real estate broker partner were together for about 10 years, according to People, and have been married since September 2012.

Williams told USA TODAY about his then-fiancée in 2010, recalling when the two first met.

"I was a teacher when I met her, so she's been with me through all different facets of my career," he said. "She's stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin."

It made their transition to Los Angeles easier, Williams added. "We know each other in and out, and she was very happy to move out here," he said. "She loves California and was tired of the weather on the East Coast."

E! reports that Williams filed for divorce, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their children, and to terminate Drake-Lee's spousal support. The couple have a three-year-old daughter, Sadie, and an almost two-year-old son, Maceo.
