Jane Lynch Divorce: “Glee” Star and Wife Lara Embry Ending Their Marriage

The "Glee" star — currently playing drunken orphanage head Miss Hannigan in Broadway musical "Annie" — is parting ways with Lara Embry after three years of marriage.

Jane Lynch is ready to move on.

The Glee star and her wife, Lara Embry, are calling it quits after three years of marriage, Lynch confirms to People.

"Lara and I have decided to end our marriage," the 52-year-old actress tells the magazine. "This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another. We ask for privacy as we deal with this family matter."

Lynch — who is currently performing as Miss Hannigan in the Broadway revival of Annie — and Embry, 44, tied the knot at an intimate ceremony in Sunderland, Mass., on May 31, 2010, a year after the two met a fund-raiser in San Francisco.

Reportedly, 21 guests were in attendance for the 20-minute ceremony, and a live jazz band played afterward.

Three months later, Lynch would publicly give props to Embry while accepting her Emmy for Oustanding Supporing Actress in a Comedy Series, as she thanked both her wife and Embry's daughter, Haden, with whom Lynch had reportedly become close.
