Maybe all that jazz ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Kenny G's wife of nearly 20 years, Lyndie Benson-Gorelick, has filed for a legal separation, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason, according to court documents obtained by E! News.

Yes, that's what the G stands for—Gorelick.

The duo have two sons together, Max and Noah, who at 14 is the only minor.

Lyndie hasn't filed for the "big D" from G yet, but both of them have enlisted high-profile L.A. divorce attorneys, Laura Wasser on Kenny's end and Gary Fishbein on Lyndie's.

And the Malibu residents probably have a few bucks. In 2006, Kenny G was certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the top-selling artists of all time with 48 million albums sold.

Among his more recent projects, the famed saxophone player had a cameo in Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" video and jammed with Foster the People when they appeared on Saturday Night Live in October.
