The drama continues for Dark Knight star Morgan Freeman.

Days after he was involved in a serious car accident, Freeman's business partner says the actor and his wife of 24 years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, have called it quits.

Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett tells Access Hollywood the couple "are involved in a divorce action."

Luckett adds that "for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007."

The couple met in 1976 when both were working off-Broadway.

Freeman has four children: Two from a previous marriage, two from previous relationships.

The news comes as Freeman is recovering in a Memphis hospital following his car accident Sunday. His rep said the actor is "doing well" after doctor reconnected nerves and repaired damage to his left arm and hand on Monday.

He is expected to be released in a few days.

    Well I be damn he is grown she is grown if he is not with his wife and is in the process of a divorce then it does not matter who the woman is that was in the car. If she is a friend, girlfriend or what he and his wife are ending their marriage and have been since December it is August so people keep your silly ass comments to your self.

    If they have been separated since last December then it is ok he was with another woman. I hate to see any marriage end but there is nothing worse than being with someone when the love is gone. So I hope they both find happiness in their lives with or without each other.
