Little House on the Prairie star Melissa Gilbert has filed for divorce from her husband of 16 years, Bruce Boxleitner.

In March, Gilbert, 47, confirmed that she and Boxleitner, 61, had separated. ”We have loved each other for a very long time and we share four incredible sons together,” she said in a statement.

The couple has a 15-year-old son together, Michael. Melissa also has a son named Dakota, 22, from her four-year marriage to Bo Brinkman. Boxleitner has two sons from his marriage to actress Kathryn Oglivy.

Gilbert and Boxleitner are seeking joint custody of Michael. The actress seeks not to pay spousal support to her estranged husband.

What I really want to know is what the heck happened to her face?
