The Wire star Andre Royo ‘splits from wife Jane Choi as she files for divorce after 22 years’

Andre Royo has reportedly split from wife Jane Choi.

The actor – best known for his role as Bubbles on The Wire – married Jane on November 21, 1997.

Now TMZ reports that his wife has filed a divorce petition in L.A. County Superior Court to end the marriage, citing irreconcilable differences

According to the site, Jane listed the date of separation as December 5, 2019 and has blocked the court from awarding either of them spousal support.

The couple share an adult daughter Stella, who has followed in her father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in acting.

MailOnline has contacted Andre’s representatives for comment.   

Andre found fame playing police informant Reginald ‘Bubbles’ Cousins in HBO’s The Wire. He is also known for his roles on Fringe and Empire.

The Wire, which starred the likes of Dominic West and Idris Elba, followed the Baltimore drug scene, as seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement. 

Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Andre revealed that he was shot at and given free heroin by drug dealers while filming the classic crime show. 

The New Yorker explained: ‘Most of us had never been to Baltimore and it was dangerous.

‘We were shooting on location, there were no sets, so we were going into places where drug dealers make £10,000 a day and trying to tell them that you were shooting for 18 hours and they can’t cross the street.

‘They’d tell us we have two hours because you’re messing my money up. They said “who the f**k are you”, it wasn’t like we had Denzel Washington on set. Nobody knew us.’
