David Boreanaz, whose TV alter ego Angel is struggling to deal with his Buffy breakup, now has a real-life split to contend with.

The 28-year-old actor filed for divorce Friday from his wife of two years, the former Ingrid Quinn, blaming (what else?) irreconciliable differences. According to his court petition, Boreanaz and Quinn have been separated for five days.

In a recent interview with E! Online, Boreanaz talked about his relationship. "Ingrid's always been supportive. She has the same attitude as I do: If you don't get something, it's not meant to be," he said.

"She'll help me along the way, as far as preparing for something. She's tough as nails--one strong Irishwoman."

Maybe too tough for his liking. E! Online gossip columnist Ted Casablanca says all wasn't well in the Boreanaz household: Quinn was reportedly upset that the TV bloodsucker was getting too close to certain cast members on Angel and Buffy, and supposedly making regular visits to the Angel set to check up on her hunky hubby.

The couple started dating back in 1994, when he was a struggling unknown and she was still a social worker (she just sold her first screenplay). The couple got married in June 1997. They didn't have any children.
