Tracy Morgan and his wife of five years are ending their marriage.

The actor-comedian’s representative said in an emailed statement on Wednesday that Morgan and Megan Wollover have filed for divorce.

“This is a challenging time for all involved, so I ask that you please respect our privacy,” Morgan said in a statement.

Morgan and Wollover married after the former ‘Saturday Night Live’ cast member recovered from a 2014 highway crash. One man was killed in the crash that left Morgan and two friends seriously injured.

The crash happened when a Wal-Mart truck slammed into the back of a limo Morgan was riding in.

Morgan and Wollover have a seven-year-old daughter. The comedian also has three adult sons from a previous marriage.
