Actress Courtney Thorne-Smith has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Roger Fishman. TMZ reports that Thorne-Smith, 56, filed the divorce paperwork earlier this week, citing irreconcilable differences, after splitting from Fishman, 66, four years ago. The couple’s only child, Jacob Emerson Fishman, is now 17 years old, and Thorne-Smith has requested joint legal and physical custody. The Ally McBeal actress was previously married to geneticist Andrew Conrad from 2000 to 2001 and also dated her Melrose Place co-star, Andrew Shue, during the 1990s. She married Hollywood marketing executive Fishman in a New Year’s Day wedding that was so secret, even her parents and closest friends were left off the guest list.
