Linda Kozlowski Hogan and 'Crocodile Dundee' Paul Hogan Divorce After 23 Years of Marriage;

Actress Linda Kozlowski Hogan and Australian comedian Paul Hogan have filed for divorce after 23 years of marriage.

"It is true. Paul and Linda are divorcing," manager Douglas Urbanski told ABC News. "They've been separated for quite a long time. They've been separated for some time and the truth of the matters is, it's amicable, amicable. That's two times amicable."

"I'm sure of it [that they will remain friends]. They're nice people," he said. "They'll continue to co-parent and co-raise. It's about as easy and stress-free as anything I've ever seen. They're both very nice people."

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Linda citied "irreconcilable differences" as her reason for the split. She's seeking joint legal and physical custody of their 15-year-old son, Chance, as well as spousal support. She also plans to change back to her maiden name, Kozlowski.

The two met on the set of "Crocodile Dundee" in 1986 and tied the knot in 1990. The bride maintained Kozlowski as her name for both of the "Dundee" flicks. Kozlowski, 51, and Hogan, 74, have been reportedly separated since September.

Rumors about trouble within the relationship hit airwaves when the couple sold their Malibu home last month to Chris Hemsworth after living in it just one year. 

According to E! News, Paul is reportedly worth $20 million, mainly from his success on the big screen in the "Crocodile Dundee" films as well as his four-decade career in Australia starring on his own sketch comedy series, "The Paul Hogan Show", and appearing in numerous TV ads. 

This will be Paul's third divorce. The funnyman was previously married twice to his first wife, Noelene Edwards, which ended in an ugly divorce.  It was rumored that the actor cheated on Edwards, whom he had first married in 1958, then divorced, then re-married in 1981. The couple had five children together. 

The original "Crocodile Dundee" movie spun off two sequels, "Crocodile Dundee II" in 1988 and "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" in 2001. The first "Crocodile Dundee" earned Hogan a 1987 Oscar nomination for best screenplay with Ken Shadie and John Cornell.
