Los Angeles - Actor-comedian Eddie Murphy's wife filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, his publicist confirmed.

Murphy and his wife, Nicole, married in 1993 and have been separated since July. They have four daughters and one son, ages three to 15, according to divorce papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. His wife filed for divorce on Friday.

"The welfare of our children is our main concern and their best interest is our first priority," the 44-year-old actor said in a statement issued through his publicist, Paul Bloch.

The former Saturday Night Live star's film credits include the Beverly Hills Cop and Shrek movies, The Nutty Professor and the Dr Doolittle movies.
