Morgan Freeman, Wife to Divorce After 24 Years

(showbizspy.com) - Hollywood legend Morgan Freeman is getting divorced.

According to a friend of the'Dark Knight' actor, Freeman and his wife of 24 years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, have called it quits.

Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett told US TV show Access Hollywood the couple "are involved in a divorce action."

Luckett adds that "for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007."

The couple met in 1976 when both were working off-Broadway.

Freeman has four children: Two from a previous marriage, two from previous relationships.

The news comes just days after Freeman, 71, was involved in a serious car accident. He is currently recovering in a Memphis hospital. His rep said the actor is "doing well" after doctors reconnected nerves and repaired damage to his left arm and hand on Monday.
