In what seemed to be one of Hollywood's more secure relationships, actors Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria have filed for divorce.

According to the divorce papers filed, the couple cited irreconcilable differences as the reason to end their 17-month marriage. However according to Hunt's representative, "They're still very good friends, and it was a decision they came to together".

Hunt, 37, recently won an Academy Award for her role opposite Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets while Azaria is best known for his Emmy Award winning voice work for such characters as Moe and Chief Wiggum on The Simpsons.
