Actress Betsy Brandt, known for her role as Marie Schrader on 'Breaking Bad', has filed for divorce from her husband, Grady Olsen, after more than 20 years of marriage. 

Brandt, who married Olsen in September 1998, officially filed for divorce earlier today, citing "irreconcilable differences" and listing their separation date as August 2023. The couple shares a 16-year-old son, August, for whom Brandt is seeking both legal and physical custody.

In terms of property, the couple will need to divide their assets, although it is unclear whether a prenuptial agreement exists. 

Brandt, who rose to fame through her role on 'Breaking Bad', continued her career with a notable part in 'Life in Pieces', a comedy series where she played Heather Hughes. This marks the end of a nearly 25-year relationship between the actress and Olsen.
