'Dog Whisperer,' wife getting divorced

LOS ANGELES, June 5 (UPI) -- Famed "Dog Whisperer" host Cesar Millan said he and his wife, Ilusion, are getting divorced.

"We are sad to announce that after 16 years of marriage we have decided to file for divorce," a statement on posted Millan's Web site said Friday.

"The decision was made after much consideration and time. We remain caring friends, and are fully committed to the co-parenting of our two boys."

Legal documents show Ilusion Millan filed for divorce in Los Angeles court Friday, citing irreconcilable differences, People Magazine reported.

She is seeking primary custody of the two sons, and Cesar, 40, will have visiting rights and offer spousal support.
