The divorce courts may soon smell what the Rock is cooking.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has announced his separation from his wife of 10 years, Dany Garcia Johnson, but says that he has no plans to stop mixing business with marital displeasure.
"While certain aspects of our relationship have changed, we are both vitally important to each other's lives," the Johnsons said in a joint statement.
"We've been fortunate enough to spend the last 17 years together as a couple and look forward to spending the rest of our lives together as best friends and business partners."
There was no immediate mention of a divorce.
The 35-year-old wrestler turned action hero and his now estranged wife, a CEO of the Miami-based wealth management firm JDM Partners, said they would "continue to advance and manage our business interests, our philanthropic efforts and, most importantly, the raising of our child together, as a loving team."
The Walking Tall star and his missus have one child together, five-year-old daughter Simone Alexander, who was born on Aug. 14, 2001.
They married in 1997 after seven years of dating; they first met as students at the University of Miami.
Johnson eventually matriculated to the WWE, where he became an A-list grappler with a penchant for referring to himself in the third-person. He went on to appear in The Mummy Returns and scored his own sequel in The Scorpion King, before starring in such testosterone-powered films as The Rundown, Doom and Be Cool.
He recently completed filming Get Smart, the big-screen adaptation of the classic spy sitcom, opposite Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. The film is due out in June 2008.
