HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — E! host Debbie Matenopoulos and her husband Jay Faires are getting divorced after five years of marriage.
Faires, who is president of music at Lionsgate, cited irreconcilable differences in court papers that he filed Wednesday in Los Angeles. He has requested that the court not award Matenopoulos spousal support.
Faires, 45, and Matenopoulos, 33, married on July 5, 2003. They do not have any children together.
According to court papers, the pair have been separated since March 22, 2008.
Matenopoulos told People on Saturday that she experienced “extreme sadness and disillusionment” when she found out about her husband’s filing like everyone else — on the Internet.
“I am extremely saddened by the dissolution of my seven-year relationship with my husband,” she told the magazine.
“I am not a proponent of divorce and I believe in working things out,” added Matenopoulos.
