The couple, who have been married for 17 years, filed for divorce Wednesday in Tennessee, citing irreconcilable differences, according to the People magazine.

"As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family," the two said in a statement. "We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

The two have five children, including the "Can't Be Tamed" pop singer.
