After 15 years, the Oscar winning actress has filed for divorce from her husband, Thaddaeus Scheel, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"For the sake of the couple's three children, Harden would like to request that the family's privacy be respected at this time," the rep says in a statement.
"No further comments will be made on this matter, and we thank you for your understanding."
The actress and Scheel have 7½-year-old twins Hudson and Julitta Dee and a 13-year-old daughter, Eulala.
