Both had already filed a petition.
Popular film actor and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan Konidela has announced his divorce from Anna Konidela.
He is also the president of the Jana Sena Party and a well-known face in Telugu cinema.
The couple issued a joint statement late on Monday night to confirm the news.
They said that after sharing an important part of their lives together, they had decided to part ways.
The decision was taken with mutual understanding and respect, according to the statement.
They also stated that although their marital relationship was coming to an end, they would remain good friends.
They added that they would continue to fulfil their responsibilities as dedicated parents to their children.
The ex-couple made it clear that the happiness and well-being of their children would always remain their shared priority.
They requested the public and well-wishers to respect their privacy during this personal transition.
Both of them urged everyone to approach the matter with understanding and sensitivity.
They also expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who had supported them throughout their journey together.
The statement was issued in the names of Pawan Kalyan and Anna Konidela.
It did not disclose the reasons behind their decision to separate.
It also made no mention of the legal divorce proceedings or arrangements concerning the custody of their children.
According to Jana Sena sources, discussions on the matter had reportedly been taking place for the past few months.
The sources said both had already filed a petition in the Family Court.
They reiterated that the decision to separate was being taken by mutual consent.
Pawan married Anna Lezhneva in 2013, after the two had worked together on Tees Maar Khan.
They have two children together, named Polena Anjana Pawanova and Mark Shankar Pawanovich.
Pawan has been married more than once before his marriage to Anna.
He separated from his second wife, actor Renu Desai, in 2011 and divorced her in 2012.
Pawan was also married to a woman named Nandini from Visakhapatnam from 1997 to 1999.
He divorced Nandini in 2008, according to the available details.
His marriage to Anna in 2013 was his third.
The announcement has drawn attention because of his dual standing as a film star and a senior political leader.
Pawan has a massive fan following across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana through his work in films.
His political role as deputy chief minister also keeps his personal life in the public eye.
For now, the joint statement remains the only official word from the couple on their separation.
