Producer and actress Sara Gilbert has filed for divorce from her wife of nearly six years, mega-producer Linda Perry, citing "irreconcilable differences," according to People.

Gilbert and Perry, who began dating in 2011 and wed in 2014, are one of Hollywood's biggest lesbian power couple considering their clout as producers across two different industries. Together they have a four-year-old son. Perry has been a step-mom to Gilbert's 15-year-old and 12-year-old from a previous relationship.

In the divorce documents, which list their date of separation as Aug. 13, Gilbert,44, has requested that neither of them is awarded spousal support.

Gilbert, a child star who grew up on the set of Rosanne, is a producer and a former cohost on The Talk. She currently produces and costars in the Roseanne spin-off The Conners. Perry, 54, was the frontwoman of the '90s group 4 Non Blondes. She's a music producer who's worked with Christina Aguilera and Pink. Last year she teamed with Dolly Parton on the soundtrack for the Netflix movie Dumplin'.
