The man who voices the beloved Cheetos mascot will not be getting Frito-Layed by his wife anymore.

According to court records obtained by The Blast, Maral Leadbeater filed divorce documents on Tuesday against Adam Leadbeater.

Leadbeater has appeared in "True Blood" and "Days of Our Lives," but is best known for portraying the voice of Chester Cheetah since 2008.

Cheetos originally had a mouse as their mascot, but in 1986 Chester was created and became a household name with his catchphrase, "Dangerously Cheesy!"

When Leadbeater took over the character in '08, he had transformed into a CGI version aimed at a more mature audience.

The estranged couple do not have any children, and it's unclear how much of the Cheetah's cheddar they'll be splitting up.
