Filmmaker Brian Grazer has split from his wife, novelist Gigi Levangie-Grazer, after eight years of marriage. The producer, 54, filed for legal separation from Levangie-Grazer in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Grazer, who most recently worked on The Da Vinci Code, has produced movie hits including A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, 8 Mile, Liar Liar and My Girl. He is seeking joint custody of the couple's sons Patrick, 2 and Thomas, 6. Levangie-Grazer wrote the screenplay for the 1998 movie Stepmom, starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts.
