Orange Is The New Black star Samira Wiley and her wife Lauren Morelli are calling it quits, over a decade after working on the show that helped bring them together.

A representative for the exes told Out the duo are 'amicably filing for divorce on Friday.'

'After nine years together we have decided to end our marriage, however, our lifelong commitment to co-parenting will forever remain,' the statement said.

Wiley and Morelli tied the knot in 2017 and share a daughter, George Elizabeth, four.

Morelli, who was a writer for Orange Is The New Black, has said that working on the series, which featured a same-sëx love story, helped her come to terms with her sexuality.

At the time she joined the staff, she had just married Stephen Basilone, a man.
