LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Musician Kenny G has filed for divorce in Los Angeles from Lyndie Benson-Gorelick, his wife of 20 years, documents show.

Benson-Gorelick filed for legal separation in January.

TMZ said Kenny G filed for divorce Thursday, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, and requesting joint legal and physical custody of their minor-age son.

The smooth jazz saxophonist, whose real name is Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, also said in the court documents he and his soon-to-be-ex-wife had a pre-nuptial agreement, which TMZ said is significant since he is reportedly worth $50 million.
