Veteran actor Robert De Niro has split from his wife, Grace Hightower, after more than 20 years of marriage. A source close to the family told people.com the two have separated and are living apart.

"Sometimes things don't work out the way you hope or want them to," said the source. The "Wizard of Lies" actor, 75, married Hightower, 63, in 1997 after dating for a decade. They share two children together: 20-year-old son Elliott and 6-year-old daughter Helen Grace.
