Ian Ziering and his wife, Erin Ludwig, are calling it quits after nine years of marriage.
The “Beverly Hill, 90210” star made the split announcement on Instagram Thursday with a “heavy heart.”
“With our hectic work schedules we could not be busier, and over the last few years have grown apart,” Ziering, 55, wrote. “She is one of the most incredible women I have ever met and the best mom to our kids.”
Ziering and Ludwig, 34, share daughters Mia Loren, 8, and Penna Mae, 6.
The “Sharknado” star slammed any reports that may try to “sensationalize” their divorce.
“Any quote attributed to me is completely false and solely meant by haters to undermine our intention to continue to get along, protect and raise our daughters, and be examples of successful co-parents,” he added. “We ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time as we focus on what is important to us, our girls.”
Ziering was previously married to model and actress Nikki Ziering from 1997 to 2002.
