Alexandra McGuinness, the estranged wife of actor Blake Berris, filed for divorce on Thursday, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing cites irreconcilable differences as the grounds for the dissolution.
The paperwork states that the couple separated on September 11, 2024, and that they wed on August 26, 2017. That timeline means the marriage lasted approximately seven years before the separation.
McGuinness is seeking joint legal and physical custody of the pair's three minor children. She is also requesting spousal support and has asked the court to deny any support award to Berris.
Berris is widely recognized by daytime television audiences for his portrayal of Nick Fallon on "Days of Our Lives." He later reprised his role on the long-running soap opera as Everett Lynch. His performances on the program garnered attention from the Daytime Emmy Awards.
The couple shared a professional relationship in addition to their marriage. McGuinness, a filmmaker, directed Berris in the feature film "Highway." Their family grew over the years: they welcomed a son named Lir in 2019, and twin boys arrived in 2021, bringing the total number of children to five.
