The Talk co-host Aisha Tyler's husband files for divorce after 22 years of marriage

Actress, comedian and The Talk co-host, Aisha Tyler and her husband Jeff Tietjens are divorcing after 22 years of marriage.
Tietjens who's an Attorney, filed for divorce earlier this month, citing irreconcilable differences. They have been separated since January 2015, according to court documents obtained by various news agencies like People, E! News and TMZ-which first broke the news.

Tietjens is not asking for spousal support for now, but is reserving the right to do so at a later date if he changes his mind, according to the court documents.

The couple were college sweethearts and got married in 1994.

Tyler opened up on The Talk in 2013 about their struggles to conceive.

"The hardest part is I really love my husband – he's such a good person and he would be such a great father,". But we just decided it wasn't worth it to go through that and so we decided to stop. It was better to not go through that torture."

"After 40 your chances of getting pregnant are between 2 and 8 percent," the actress (who was 42 at the time) said.

"In my particular case, they were less than 5 percent. I'm old, in baby years, that's old to be trying to get pregnant."

She added that a doctor told her eventually, "Look, based on what we're seeing here, I just don't think this is going to happen for you."

In an interview with The Huffington Post in September 2014 she said:

"I wanted families and couples to know that it was a valid choice not to get on this crazy merry-go-round of IVF and tens and tens of thousands of dollars,". "People who do what I do for a living can afford that stuff, but most people can't. They mortgage their homes and they break themselves."

"And by the way," she continued, "most of them don't get pregnant. We only focus on the Cinderella stories. We don't focus on all the people that don't do it. And I wanted people to feel, men and women, it's OK to say, 'I love my marriage, I love my life, I choose not to have children.'"

Life Is a Mystery!!!.... We live in a world where so many strange things happen that are beyond human comprehension... First of all I want correct this impression of me moving out of my husband's house, I did not leave my house nor pack out of his house, On the contrary, he was the one that left me and moved out of the house!!.... And this happened like 3months ago when we had a minor argument over the well being of his children... And he packed out of the house abandoning me and 5 children at home; His 2kids, Our 2cousins that has been leaving with us for the past 10yrs now and the househelp... Anyone who is close to the house or our family can testify to it that I am still in the house that we have lived together for 4yrs now, he was the one that moved out and rented another apartment two weeks after... Presently as we speak, he's now leaving in his new house, neglected his wife, kids & responsibilities since...I tried to resolve this issue by informing some of our close relatives but all to no avail... I guess his mind was strongly made up and must have his reasons for wanting to be a free man... Naturally couples do have issues between each which are meant to be resolved between them amicably not taking such a drastic measure like moving out of the house, a man for that matter!!!.... Definitely he must have been planning to do so before was just looking for an excuse!!! A responsible man would never abandon his family no matter the circumstances!!!.... So I kept mute all this while and tried to move on with my life, going about my daily business , working my head up day and night for the survival of these children.... If you check through the years back, I never for once talked about my husband badly ... I always give him praises and appreciate him anywhere and everywhere necessary... Is he God? Is he Angel? Or Is he that perfect?... Ofcourse No!!.... He has hurt me so many times before Infact has broken me countless time before but never for once said anything cruel about him but instead tried to play along with maturity... Because I don't ever want to tarnish his image, I love my husband and cherish him more than any one can imagine!!!

People usually judge people by their appearances which shouldn't be so..we shouldn't judge people from afar!!.. An innocent looking person might be a devil underneath while an arrogant/ flashy person might just be an angel to the core!!... So many people abused, cursed, judged, criticized and even condemned me for not uploading his picture on his birthday .. How can I celebrate a man that has abandoned me and his kids for over 3 months now without looking back and made it clear he wasn't ready to get back to me!!...If actually did that who would I be fooling? Myself? Him? Or the Audience?... All that you see on his page.. @officialafeezowo on my birthday uploading my pictures and saying some nice things was just a camouflage!! Deception!!... He wrote there that am his angel.. "Can you leave your angel to starve to death?"....if you check through his page very well he hasn't uploaded my picture there for a while before this very day of my birthday simply because he left me a long time ago... All he does is fool the world by uploading his children pictures which has been on him phone for long and now pretending to be the best dad in the world. Whereas he hasn't heard from these children or care about their well being in a long while now... I don't like really to upload my children on net too much because I believe children are meant to be protected by keeping them well and save inside not exposing them to the world every time like they are some kind of items you wanna sell. That's why I don't put them on Net too much except on very important occasion. That doesn't mean I don't love them. I adore them!!... Infact they are my life!!!

Now!!... My husband why are trying to destroy me? Why do you wanna kill me? What will be your achievement? Why do you wish destroy my career.. This is the career that gives me money to feed the children that came out from your flesh and blood... Why do I deserve this kind of hatred from you?... Is this what I get for having stayed by your side and supported you for good 13yrs?... Well no problem!!!..All will be well... But I leave everything into God's hands to judge between you and I ... I know he will surely fight my battle for me because " Oba Elesan ni, Adakedajo, arinurode, Olumoran okan, olugbeja eda"... Now Am crying out unto you from the deepest pain of my heart!!.. "Gbogbo Eyin Abiamo Aye"....Pls save me!! Pls save this poor innocent woman who's done nothing wrong but has always worked extra hard just to support and keep her family together ... Pls I beg you all in the of God to save me from this. Trauma that am experiencing now... May God be with everyone... Thank You!!!
