Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford are divorcing? Say it isn't so!

 UPDATED 12:49 pm June 20: Former "Malcolm in the Middle" star Jane Kaczmarek and former "West Wing" star Bradley Whitford, have called it quits after 16 years of marriage. The couple has  three children, ages 10, 8 and 5.

MollyWard_Kevin_55136467_600People reports that the couple has filed for divorce, according to rep Melissa Kates, and that they ask for "privacy."

 OK. But we just gotta wonder...

Did their respective careers -- he did a revival of "Boeing-Boeing" (spelling updated) on Broadway, she's doing "Raising the Bar," on TNT --  have anything to do with this split?

As she explains to Craig Ferguson, she got to kiss her hot young assistant on her TV show and Bradley got to make out onstage with Mary McCormack, Gina Gershon and Kathryn Hahn.

Gina Gershon?????

Anyway, whatever the reason for their divorce, this is really depressing.

If this lovely and seemingly perfectly suited couple can't make it, well, the rest of us should toss in the towel. Heck, we should burn the towel.

We wish Bradley and Jane privacy, an amicable split and all the best continuing to raise their children together.

Anyone have any theories on what went wrong?

Editor's note:  An earlier version of this post misspelled Gina's Gershon's first name as Gena, and Mary McCormack's last name as McCorrmack.

That was last year's Tony awards, a whole year ago.....

If you search WireImage and Getty, he hasn't been seen recently at public events aside from a earlier this year at a lobbying event with former WW starts regarding unions. However if you search Jane K. she has been at many recently, including just a few days ago with the kids..:-(.....?

Molly Ward is his niece.

No, the picture doesn't say anything considering that the young lady is his niece by marriage. It seems likely that he was simply letting her get some exposure as a favor to her aunt (Jane).

The actress in the photo, Molly Ward, is Brad Whitford's niece.

I'm pretty sure Molly Ward is Bradley's niece.

Molly Ward is his neice. Please do research before you start gossip. This is how nasty untrue rumours start.

"We wish Bradley and Jane privacy, an amicable split and all the best continuing to raise their children together.

You wish them "privacy," and in the very next sentence invite speculation as to what happened to their marriage? Unbelievable.

They are two amazing actors (Malcolm in the middle and the West Wing are my favorite series), it's so sad !

speaking of research, their kids are 12, 9, and 6, the show is "Boeing, Boeing" and its "Gina" Gershon.
