LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- More drama from the 90210!

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” stars Adrienne Maloof and husband Paul Nassif are splitting, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

The couple, who has been married for nine years, are going their separate ways, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split

According to documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, Nassif is asking for joint legal custody of their children – Gavin, 9, and the twins Colin and Christian, 6 – and that that each pay their own legal fees.

In a statement to Access Hollywood on Monday, Maloof said both parties are keeping their children’s best interests in mind.

“We are working towards finding a solution for our family. However, we are taking a legal separation at this time,” her statement noted.
