Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Marisa Zanuck says her marriage has reached its finale.
The glamorous real estate agent filed for divorce from husband Dean Zanuck on Feb. 25 in Los Angeles, court records confirm.
She is asking for joint custody of the couple’s 13-year-old son Jack and 11-year-old daughter Darryl.
It was during Season 3 of “RHOBH” that Zanuck famously said her film producer husband wasn’t really her “type.”
Fellow cast member Brandi Glanville seized on the statement and accused Zanuck of being disrespectful.
Zanuck tried to clear things up on the blog she wrote for the hit Bravo show.
“Sometimes my mouth speaks before my brain thinks, but that’s me. Dean actually finds this to be an endearing, amusing and bemusing quality of mine. But you would have to know us to know this,” she wrote in January 2013.
Her marriage became a frequent topic for the blog, especially after Glanville accused Zanuck of loving her husband less than he loved her.
“Deanie and I are blessed to have each other. I love him very much,” she wrote. “But it doesn’t matter if you live in Beverly Hills and are married to a film producer or if you live in Pennsylvania and are married to a coal miner, all marriages take work and it isn’t always a bed of roses.”
When she left the show for good, her final blog in March 2013 claimed the experience actually helped her marriage.
“My husband Dean and I have grown closer as we discussed the things I’ve said on the show. I regret many things that I have said without thinking, but my husband and I are deeply in love and after 16 years we know how we truly feel about each other. Dean is an incredible man, and he knew that I didn’t intend on hurting him,” she wrote.
“I am blessed to have him and my beautiful family and I am grateful for their love and support; it means everything to me,” she said.
Dean Zanuck is described as “Hollywood royalty” on his wife’s online Bravo profile.
He produced “Road to Perdition” starring Tom Hanks and “Get Low” with Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murry.
His late father Richard Zanuck was the Oscar-winning producer of “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Jaws” and “Cocoon.”
Dean’s grandfather Darryl Zanuck was one of the co-founders of the studio now known as Twentieth Century-Fox.
