December 21, 2010: Joanna really is Going

Dylan Walsh of Nip/Tuck fame files for divorce.

by Jeffrey Cottrill

December is providing a tidal wave of celebrity breakups, and here's another one for the pile: Dylan Walsh, who apparently can't nip or tuck his marriage to Joanna Going back into a beautiful thing.

Walsh submitted his divorce filing to a Los Angeles court on December 10, citing irreconcilable differences. According to People, the actor wants joint legal and physical child custody of the pair's seven-year-old daughter, Stella Haven. But he has offered to pay spousal support to Going.

Walsh and Going, both 47, married in October 2004. The Nip/Tuck star was previously married to Melora Walters (of Boogie Nights and Magnolia fame) for seven years and has two children, 14-year-old Thomas Charles and 13-year-old Joanna Marie, with her.

Joanna Going's first movie role in eight years will be in the upcoming Terrence Malick film The Tree of Life, starring Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.

Nip/Tuck concluded its run last March 3, with exactly 100 episodes. Dylan Walsh recently had a supporting role in the Disney biopic Secretariat.
