Former iconic teen star Mark-Paul Gosselaar - Zach on "Saved by the Bell" - has finalized his divorce from his wife of 14 years, Lisa Ann Russell.

Gosselaar and his former wife had a judge sign off on the divorce papers after they were filed by the television star more than a year ago. The couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their legal split, according to the Washington Post.

The former couple has two children, Michael and Ava, who will be split between the parents due to a joint custody agreement that was reached, the news source reported.

Russell and her now ex-husband had hired a mediator to help settle their financial issues, and the couple is rumored to have signed a mutually satisfactory agreement, according to E Online.

The teen star is no stranger to the courtroom, as Gosselaar is one of the two lawyers on the upcoming legal dramedy, "Franklin and Bash". The show is set to air in early June and the proceedings should not have any impact on its release, reported the news source.
