Alvina Stewart files divorce from husband, Anthony Anderson, after 22 years of marriage

American actor and comedian Anthony Anderson and her wife Alvina Stewart have called it quits after 22 years of marriage.

Stewart filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Courts, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their breakup, according to documents obtained by The Blast on Monday, March 28, 2022.

In the document, Stewart requested spousal support from the 51-year-old actor.

In documents, filed last Friday and obtained by PEOPLE on Monday, Alvina cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The high school sweethearts got married in September 1999, and they share two adult children: Nathan, 22, and Kyra, 26.

Though Alvina has requested that property acquired during the marriage be treated as “community” property to be split between the parties, the filing listed the following as separate property: “All gifts and inheritance, all assets, earnings, accumulations, and debts acquired by [Alvina] prior to the date of marriage and after the date of separation, the exact nature and extent of which are unknown,” the documents state.

In the new filing, Alvina lists the date of separation as “TBD” and has asked for spousal support. “All gifts and inheritance, all assets, earnings, accumulations, and debts acquired by Petitioner prior to the date of marriage and after the date of separation, the exact nature and extent of which are unknown,” the court docs read.

The 51-year-old actor grew up in Compton, California, and attended Howard University. He and Alvina started out as high school sweethearts and wed in September 1999.
