After separating, couples often wait months or even years to officially file the divorce papers, but apparently, Danica McKellar wasn’t excited about being in limbo that long. Just three days after splitting from her husband Mike Verta, the Wonder Years star submitted the paperwork to make it legal, citing irreconcilable differences.
The soon-to-be ex-spouses dated for eight long years before they finally walked down the aisle in 2009. A baby named Draco followed not long after, but apparently, his presence wasn’t enough to keep the couple together. According to E! News, McKellar is seeking joint custody; so, that should be one less battle that has to be fought in the courtroom.
Thus far, neither party has made any public comment on what could have possibly gone wrong, but given how quickly they went from together to attorneys, one would think it’s either been bad for awhile or something sudden and major happened. Either way, it’s always sad to see a pair who have been together for so long, especially one with a kid, part company.
Following her break out success on The Wonder Years, Cooper has taken on many supporting roles, but in recent years, her acting has been overshadowed by her work in another field. The thirty-seven-year-old attended UCLA awhile back and actually co-authored a relevant mathematical theorem. It’s called the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem, and if nothing else, it’s a reason to be impressed by Winnie Cooper’s crazy intelligence.
