One Tree Hill is coming to an end, and so is star Bethany Joy Galeotti's marriage, unfortunately.

The tube star, who plays Haley James Scott on the CW series, announced on her blog on Monday that she and her musician hubby, Michael Galeotti, are getting a divorce and she plans to take her maiden name again.

"As most of you know, as much as I love to share with you the magic of ordinary days, I am also very private about my personal life. In fact, the only reason I'm saying anything about this at all is because you'll all be wondering soon why everyone is calling me 'Bethany Joy Lenz' again," she wrote. "I'm sorry to say that Michael and I have decided to divorce."

The split, according to Galeotti, is an amicable one.

"We remain friendly and dedicated to raising our beautiful girl in love and we appreciate your prayers and support during this difficult time. I feel immensely humbled and grateful that God works all things for the good of those who love Him," the 30-year-old actress-singer added.

The couple tied the knot in December 2005 and welcomed their first child, daughter Maria Rose Galeotti, a year ago.

Meanwhile, after nine seasons, One Tree Hill will wrap up with a two-hour series finale set to air April 4.
