Mark-Paul Gosselaar (aka Zack Morris) Splits with Wife

June 4, 2010, by Winiviere G. Sy

Another day, another celebrity marriage bites the dust. I grew up watching "Saved By the Bell" and absolutely loved my Saturday mornings with Zack, Slater, Skreetch, Lisa, Jesse and Kelly.

It was reported that after 14 years of marriage and two children Mark-Paul Gosselaar and his wife Lisa Ann Russell have separated.

Gosselaar, 36, and Russell, 38, met on the set of Saved by the Bell when she had a small role. They got married in 1996, and have children Michael Charles, 6, and Ava Lorenn, 4.

No reason for the split was given. But a source close to the couple refuted Internet reports that Russell's behavior was to blame.

"The reports saying that she's out partying aren't true," says the source. "She's a great mom. The two of them couldn't be more hands on with the kids. Their number one focus is definitely their family."

As I have previously blogged on numerous occasions, California is a no fault divorce state, which means anyone can get divorced regardless of fault. Since the couple have two small children, custody and visitation issues will definitely play a role in their divorce. If you are considering divorce in Orange County of Los Angeles County, contact a reputable Orange County divorce attorney determine your rights.
