Westworld star Jimmi Simpson reportedly filed for divorce from his second wife Sophia Del Pizzo on Monday after just 19 months of marriage.

The 45-year-old Emmy nominee was last pictured with the British 32-year-old over Christmas 2019, but he listed their separation date as November 2020 - according to The Blast.

Jimmi and Sophia never had children but they shared a cat called Princess Bubblegum and their other cat M'liege passed away in April 2020.

Simpson and Del Pizzo acted together in Asya Nikolaeva's 2020 short film Symphony; a 2019 episode of Epix's Perpetual Grace, LTD; and a 2019 episode of Hulu's Into the Dark.

The New Jersey native and the Whitstable Pearl star originally made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of USA Network's Unsolved in February 2018.

Jimmi and Sophia then eloped at an LA courthouse in April 2019 and celebrated their 'expedited' nuptials at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica.

On Wednesday, Del Pizzo posted a Frasier meme reading: 'I wanna prove I'm strong and independent and I can't do that alone.'

'I'm Niles' one liners energy,' the Angel Has Fallen actress wrote - hashtagging: '#innerpeace #selfgrowth #tonyrobbins.'

Here's hoping the split is as amicable as Simpson's first divorce from Mrs. America star Melanie Lynskey, which was finalized in 2014 after five years of marriage.

'They required no lawyers but got assistance from a mediator,' TMZ noted at the time.

'And they included a line in the judgment that said neither wanted spousal support and promised not to take an "unfair advantage" of each other while splitting up their assets.'

It's unclear if the three-time SAG Award nominee will reprise his role as William in the fourth season of HBO's Westworld, which just halted production due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Jimmi's visitor character in the hit sci-fi Western drama went from series regular in season one to recurring in season two to guest star in season three.

Simpson currently voices Detective David Mills in stop-motion animated musical series Ultra City Smiths, which airs Thursdays on AMC+.
