Former "Wonder Years" actress and current math whiz/author Danica McKellar and her composer husband Mike Verta are splitting after more than a decade together.
According to TMZ, McKellar filed for divorce in L.A. Superior Court on June 4 citing the ever-popular irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The two were married in March of 2009 and have a 1-year-old son, Draco, together.
Fun fact: The couple's first dance was to a song written by Verta, and McKellar walked down the aisle to one of his tunes too (his day job is writing songs for film and TV). The couple has a pre-nup, so there shouldn't be too much contention in the split. McKellar asked for joint physical and legal custody of their son.

That's right kids, Winnie Cooper is preggo!
Danica McKellar has announced her pregnancy to People. She and husband, Mike Verta, are expecting their first child in early autumn.
McKellar says that she tried to put off taking an at-home pregnancy test to focus on her next book, "Hot X: Algebra Exposed," but she only lasted one day.

"Me and Mike looked at each other and could not stop the tears," McKellar tells the magazine. "We are so happy."
