Mark-Paul Gosselaar's new bromance can continue to fly unfettered.

The star of the upcoming legal buddy dramedy Franklin & Bash is officially single now that a judge has signed off on his divorce from Lisa Ann Russell, according to court documents filed Friday.

If all went according to plan, Gosselaar and his ex will be sharing custody of their kids, 7-year-old Michael and 5-year-old Ava.

The erstwhile Zack Morris filed for divorce last June 18, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split after more than 13 years of marriage.

Per Friday's filing, Gosselaar and Russell employed a mediator to help them settle their financial issues and they have reached a mutually satisfactory agreement.

In addition to new costar Breckin Meyer (their show premieres Wednesday on TNT), Gosselaar has also been seen lately in the company of Catriona McGinn, who was on his arm for the Red Cross' Red Tie Affair benefit last month in Santa Monica.
