The cricketer and 2006 Strictly Come Dancing winner has two daughters with his 39-year-old wife Vandana.
Friends told the Daily Mail that the marriage has never fully recovered after allegations that the former England batsman conducted an on-off six-year affair.
A statement released this week on behalf of the couple stated: "Mark Ramprakash and his wife Vandana Ramprakash are to divorce. They are both sad about this and are agreeing to an amicable parting. Their priority is the well-being of their two daughters."
Reports that the 40-year-old was embroiled in an affair with office worker Sadia Saleem, 30, emerged while he was appearing on the BBC One dancing contest.
