Morgan Freeman, wife finalise divorce

Morgan Freeman and his wife Myrna Colley-Lee have announced that their divorce has been finalised.

Freeman's attorney William R Wright told The AP that the couple were granted a divorce in a Mississippi court on September 15.

"It was done without a trial," he said. "Everybody is glad it's over."

Terms of the divorce are to remain sealed, according to the lawyer.

Wright stated that his client and Colley-Lee will both continue to live in Tallahatchie County where the two-time Oscar nominee owns a ranch.

The couple announced that they would split in 2007 after 26 years of marriage.
