Dulé Hill couldn't have seen this one coming when he got married.

The Psych star filed for a legal separation from actress wife Nicole Lyn, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for why things didn't work out.

The pair's official date of separation is listed as July 21—11 days after their eighth wedding anniversary—in court documents filed Nov. 6 and obtained by E! News.

Hill, who's perhaps most famous for playing presidential aide Charlie Young on The West Wing for seven years, filed his petition using his full first name, Karim Dulé Hill.

Lyn had a recurring role as an intern on The West Wing before she married Hill, and she had a guest spot on Psych in 2007 in addition to appearances on The L Word and the short-lived Welcome to the Captain.

Hill, 37, and Lyn, 34, did not have any children together and this was the first marriage for both.

The seventh season of Psych premieres on USA in February.
