Attempts to reach her lawyer, Judith Poller with Pryor Cashman, as well as her publicist were not immediately successful Thursday evening.
Sources told TMZ.com the divorce is amicable, with the splitting spouses on friendly terms as they continue to raise their 14-year-old son Kiyan Carmelo Anthony together.
“They have been separated for a while now and will remain friends,” an unidentified source told Us Weekly.
“They both want to make sure that the divorce goes as smoothly as possible for their son.”
The former couple started dating in 2004 when La La served as the host of MTV’s “Total Request Live” and Melo, now 37, played for the Denver Nuggets.
