"Twilight" star Peter Facinelli has put the final nail in his marriage after announcing he and wife Jennie Garth had split earlier this month - he has filed for divorce.
 
Citing irreconcilable differences for the break up, the actor notes the date of separation as January 1, 2012.
 
The couple was married for 11 years and Garth and Facinelli have three daughters, aged between five and 14.
 
In the court papers, filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday and obtained by TMZ.com, Facinelli is requesting joint physical and legal custody of the kids.
