Celebrity

The 28-year-old actress, who got engaged to the actor in 2013 and secretly married him in 2015, has filed for divorce from him and wants to remove 'Jenner' from her name.

AceShowbiz - Melissa Benoist and Blake Jenner are done. The actress, best known for her portrayal as the titular superhero on "Supergirl", has filed for divorce from her husband after less than two years of marriage, reports TMZ.

In the court documents, Benoist cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind their split. She refuses to pay her ex spousal support and isn't seeking financial support from Jenner either. She also wants to ditch "Jenner" from her name.

Benoist and Jenner met when they were working together on "Glee" in 2012. The two, who played on-screen lovers Marley Rose and Ryder Lynn respectively on the FOX series, got engaged in July 2013 and secretly tied the knot in March 2015 in a "very small [wedding] with their families there." However, they decided to keep the happy news under tight wraps until July that year.

The two actors most recently shared screen in two episodes of "Supergirl". Jenner appeared as Adam Foster, whose unexpected link with Benoist's Supergirl a.k.a. Kara Zor-El puts a strain on her relationship with Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant.
