Vicki Iovine, wife of music producer Jimmy Iovine, filed for divorce in Los Angeles last week. The couple had been married for 24 years and have four children (two of whom are grown). The dissolution petition cited irreconcilable differences as grounds for the divorce.

Jimmy Iovine is the founder of Interscope Records, current chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records and producer of such acts as U2, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. He is reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Vicki Iovine has been writing the popular “Girlfriends’ Guide” books since 1995. Prior to becoming a mother and successful author, Vicki was a Playboy Playmate and a practicing attorney. She seeks attorneys’ fees and spousal support in her divorce petition.

Although the court paperwork cites the generic “irreconcilable differences”, rumors have abounded for quite some time that Jimmy Iovine has been having an extramarital affair with Pussycat Dolls’ singer, Nicole Sherzinger. Looks like this divorce could be quite expensive due to the length of the marriage and the amount of wealth involved.

UPDATE:  Looks like Jimmy Iovine is being represented by divorce attorney to the stars, Laura Wasser.  Wasser has previously represented Britney Spears, among other celebrities.
