The writer for the popular Netflix show Lauren Morelli and her husband of two years Steve Basilone have jointly filed for divorce and she is now dating Wiley.

AceShowbiz - Lauren Morelli, one of the writers for "Orange Is the New Black", and her husband of two years Steve Basilone have agreed to go separate ways and now she is dating actress Samira Wiley who plays Poussey on the popular Netflix show. According to TMZ, the writer and her ex-husband jointly filed for divorce recently.

The divorce papers further suggest that the pair separated amicably. The TV writer gets Lexus, her apartment and her sapphire engagement ring. Her husband, meanwhile, gets the Mazda hatchback.

Morelli opened up about her sexuality in a piece on Mic in May. The writer, who got the job with the series a few months after tying the knot, said in the essay that writing about the relationship between Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, and her ex-girlfriend Alex Vause, portrayed by Laura Prepon, made her think about her own sexuality.

"I was nervous about the first love scene I'd written for Alex and Piper," she wrote back then. "I'd loved writing it, loved watching a tenderness emerge in their relationship where passion always seemed to be the ruling principle, but by that time, I was so deep in my own self-doubt that I constantly felt like a fraud. I was sure it was bleeding into my writing. How could it not? I was married to a man, but I wasn't straight."
