Actress Robin Wright has called it quits on her marriage.
The "House of Cards" alum, who was married to Saint Laurent executive Clément Giraudet, has become the latest celebrity to end their marriage, adding to a growing list that includes "Vampire Dairies" star Paul Wesley, Emma Slater, Alexis Bledel, Johnny Knoxville, Ali Wong, and renowned Columbian singer Shakira.
Wright and Giraudet started dating in 2017 and married the following year in a low-ley ceremony in La Roche-sur-le-Buis, France. Per reports, the "Wonder Woman 1984" star filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Robin Wright Is Putting An End To Her Marriage
According to information garnered by TMZ, actress Wright has made a shocking move to end her four years marriage to Giraudet.
Per the publication, it seemed that the "Justice League" star had fallen out long ago with Giraudet as the court document revealed the date of separation as July 31st. The docs also disclosed the reason for the divorce was due to the pair having "irreconcilable differences."
Regarding the division of assets which is a significant hurdle for divorcing couples, it appears that the pair had a prenuptial in place, which will leave both parties going off with their respective properties acquired during the marriage.
The docs read, "Pursuant to the parties' post-nuptial agreement, all assets are his/her separate property."
TMZ also reported that Wright was not seeking spousal support nor leaving herself vulnerable to give one to her ex-husband. Per the docs, she filed against the court's ability to award spousal support to either of them in her divorce suit.
The Pair Are Yet To Publicly Announce Their Separation
Since the divorce made the headlines, the actress is yet to publicly acknowledge that she was splitting ways with Giraudet, whom she first started dating in 2017. The pair had no children during their marriage, and there is no telling if this contributed to their split.
Giraudet, who is an executive with the fashion giant Saint Laurent has also kept mute about the split, seemingly preferring to end the union in a lowkey way similar to the very private wedding he had with the actress in 2018.
For now, it is unclear how quickly the divorce would be finalized to allow both parties officially move on with their lives without the constraint of the legal binding between couples. However, since they had a prenuptial in place, it's most likely that the court will grant the divorce in the coming months.
Robin Wright's Previous Marriages
Wright's split from Giraudet marks her third failed attempt at marriage over the years. She was once married to demised actor Dane Witherspoon whom she met on the set of the NBC soap opera "Santa Barbara." The pair's union lasted barely two years between 1986 and 1988.
In 1989, Wright got involved with another actor Sean Penn, who was previously married to music icon Madonna. The pair had a troubled relationship for many years, breaking up and reuniting before they finally tied the knot in 1986.
The actress' marriage to Penn was her longest, lasting over a decade until its end in 2010. During their time together, the pair welcomed two children, son Hopper Jack and daughter Dylan Frances. After her divorce from Penn, Wright also dated another actor, Ben foster, to whom she got engaged twice before their split in 2015.
Hollywood Has Been Rocked With Divorces This Year
In the meantime, Hollywood has been swept by a wave of divorces that have shocked fans of the involved parties.
Back in April, "Always Be My Maybe" actress Ali Wong and her husband, Justin Hakuta, announced that they were ending their union after almost a decade of marriage. The pair share two kids – Mari and Nikki.
Two months after, "Jackass" star Knoxville filed for divorce from his second wife, Naomi Nelson, ending their almost 12 years union. At the time, he cited "irreconcilable differences" as the main reason for the split and shared that they had stopped living together since September 2021.
Vincent Kartheiser and Bledel also ended their eight-year marriage in August, which bore a son in 2015. "The Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley and his partner Ines de Ramon also called it quits after three years of marriage.
