Bob Guiney is about to regain the title that made him famous: Bachelor.

His wife of more than five years, All My Children star Rebecca Budig, filed for divorce last week, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their breakup.

The once-happy couple revealed in January that they had split up; however, in the petition filed April 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court, Budig lists their separation date as Sept. 7, 2009.

So apparently those differences were pretty irreconcilable.

This was the second marriage for Guiney. He wooed both Trista Sutter (née Rehn) on The Bachelorette and his own Bachelor-sanctioned beloved, Estella Gardinier, before meeting Budig on the ABC lot. They tied the knot in a lakeside ceremony in July 2004.

Five-plus years later, Budig has requested that the court not award Guiney any spousal support.
