Kate Walsh is spinning off once more…this time from her marriage.

Studio exec Alex Young, the Private Practice star's husband of just 15 months, has filed for divorce, citing those ever-popular irreconcilable differences. (View the petition.)

Which, coupled with her show's Golden Globe snub and struggling ratings, probably doesn't make it the best day to be Kate Walsh.

"Papers have been filed to amicably end the marriage of executive Alex Young, and actress Kate Walsh," a rep for the actress said in a statement Thursday. "The couple remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time."

After just four months of public dating, Walsh and 20th Century Fox honcho Young tied the knot in September 2007 in front of 100 of their closest pals, including Kate Beckinsale and former Grey's Anatomy costars Katherine Heigl and Chandra Wilson.

While the court papers list the couple's date of separation as Nov. 22,  the 41-year-old actress was spotted out and about with Young as recently as Nov. 8, at the three-year anniversary bash for Las Vegas' Tao Nightclub.

Sadly, they won't make the same milestone.
