After almost one year of being married, actor Darius McCrary has filed for divorce from his wife, former video vixen Karrine Steffans.
The former 'Family Matters' star, who wed the New York Times bestselling author on April 20, 2009, filed paperwork to dissolve the marriage on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles County Court according to the National Enquirer, who published the court documents in their latest issue.
The actor reportedly sent Steffans a bouquet of flowers along with her divorce papers.
This is McCrary's third marriage and third divorce.
"I will always love Karrine and her son, but we are not good together. It was just time for us to go our separate ways," McCrary told NE rep
orter Patricia Shipp.
McCrary, who now stars on 'The Young and the Restless,' had dated the author of tomes like 'Confessions of a Video Vixen' and 'The Vixen Diaries' on an off for almost two years after meeting her at a gifting suite for the ESPY Awards in July of 2007.
The couple broke up for a while in June of 2008 after the 31-year-old beauty accused McCrary of domestic violence.
The 33-year-old actor was then interviewed for the documentary 'Kiss and Tail: The Hollywood Jump Off' that was based on Steffans and spoke disparagingly about his then ex-girlfriend.
Months later the couple reconciled and quietly wed in Los Angeles less than a year later.
With news of the divorce being public, Steffans is now accusing her ex-hubby-to-be of being unfaithful during the marriage.
"He cheated on me. You can't cover that up with a bouquet of flowers," she told the National Enquirer.
Steffans intends to maintain her marriage name, Karrine Steffans-McCrary moving forward.
While her marriage may be over, the controversial author has a new relationship with Fox Television Studios. Fox recently optioned the rights to her latest book 'The Vixen Manual.'
Steffans will write and co-executive produce a scripted show loosely based on her life experiences and the book's premise.
BV Buzz spoke to Steffans about the deal with Fox prior to the National Enquirer breaking the news about her divorce.
"Naturally, I am overjoyed to be working with Fox Studios in bringing the ideals of 'The Vixen Manual' and a version of my life to the small screen. I look forward to my future in television and film as a force behind the scenes," she said then.
Steffans, who was previously married to rapper Kool G Rap, will also be featured on an upcoming episode of TV One's 'Life After' series.

Its hard making a marriage survive under what most might consider "normal" circumstances - you know, having a somewhat regular job, 9 to 5, just everyday people. But, how difficult must it have been committing yourself to someone who's self-professed to having serviced so many men? In a regular situation, when a disagreement or argument might have you 'hitting below the belt', so-to-speak, how does one press the buttons of someone who has publicly related to anyone who can read that they've bedded more men than they can count?
This had to be tough just going in to it - let alone maintaining the relationship.
I feel sympathy for Ms. Steffans and I just plain feel for Mr. McCrary.

I was thinking the same thing. It's sad too because a lot of men have I-don't-know how many sexual partners. But because he's a man it's all good. I mean he is on his third marriage at 33. I would say they were doomed from the start.

If she turned out Ok, why is she airing her dirty laundry? I really hope she doesn't think she is "getting back" at her "subjects". She is really just going from bad to worse. Now she is getting ready to do a movie? I am not understanding. Then she says she is "developing a product that people want"...what product?
She really needs to think about her son, and stop being selfish. This is really going to hurt him later.

This is why I could never see myself getting married; it's a complete waste of time, effort, and resources that could be better applied somewhere else.
If I got married, I should only have to get married once, NOT THREE TIMES. Anyway, marriage is OVERRATED and not necessary for me to be HAPPY.
