Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon Files for Divorce

Actress Garcelle Beauvais has filed for divorce from her husband of nine years, Mike Nilon in Los Angeles.  The filing comes as no surprise after recent news of his infidelities.

Back in April, Beauvais accused Nilon of cheating in an email she sent to his colleagues at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Nilon is a talent agent at CAA.

Beauvais’ email, titled “Tiger Woods/Jesse James/Mike Nilon,” read: “What do they have in common… I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 yrs has been having an affair for 5 yrs with some slut in Chicago. I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!”

The now-estranged couple married in 2001 and have 2-year-old twin sons, Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas.

Beauvais starred in the “The Jamie Foxx Show” from 1996 to 2001 and in “NYPD Blue” from 2001 to 2004.

She is represented in the divorce action by Los Angeles family law attorney Michael Trope. Trope formerly represented Larry Birkhead in the paternity fallout which occurred after the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Trope is the son of legendary Hollywood divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope. Sorrell Trope’s firm, Trope and Trope (at which Michael Trope used to practice), has handled countless celebrity divorces and family law matters, including those of Nicolas Cage, Shaunie O’Neal, Nicole Kidman, and Britney Spears.
