Dennis Quaid confirms end of third marriage

London, Mar 11 (ANI): Dennis Quaid confirmed that his wife has filed for divorce and asked for their privacy to be respected as the two work towards a "satisfactory settlement".

"We can confirm that Kimberley Quaid has filed for divorce. Contrary to what has been reported, a satisfactory settlement is being worked out for both parties. We will not be providing any further information on this private matter," a statement issued by the actor's representative read.

A temporary order has been put in place giving the two joint custody of their four-year-old twins.
