Actress Mayim Bialik announced Wednesday that she will be divorcing her husband of nine years. 

Bialik, who currently stars as Sheldon's friend in "The Big Bang Theory", cited "irreconcilable differences" with Michael Stone, with whom she shares two kids with.

She released a statement on her website regarding her divorce saying, "The hands-on style of parenting we practice played no role in the changes that led to this decision," adding, "relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose."

Bialik first appeared in NBC's hit TV show "Blossom" 20 years ago where she starred as Blossom Russo until 1995. She had since been doing voice-over work for cartoons.

Bialik returned to the small screen as Dr. Farrah Fowler in Season 3 of "The Big Bang Theory" in 2009.

Bialik attended UCLA and earned a Ph.D in the field of neuroscience.

Earlier this year, Bialik wrote a new book defending the practice of "attachment parenting," which focuses on a holistic upbringing. The actress is known to be one of several famous practitioners.

"When we treat our children kindly and expect love and give love, we hopefully are raising children that then expect that and give that to the world around them," Bialik told NewsOK. "It is very consistent with a 'green' style of parenting."

Bialik admitted that she still breastfeeds her 3-year-old son Fred. She also said she is not a fan of using diapers on her children.

She wrote in her new book: "You're basically training your child to use their pants as a bathroom, and two years later we have them turn around and do all sorts of complicated manipulations to get them to unlearn."
