Mark Paul Gosselaar and wife Lisa Ann Russell split

Mark Paul Gosselaar and Lisa Ann Russell are splitting up

Saved By The Bell hunk Mark Paul Gosselaar and his wife of 13 years, Lisa Ann Russell, are splitting up.

In Touch Weekly talked to an “insider” who says the couples troubles stem from Russell’s partying lifestyle:

Recently, Lisa has been spotted out “partying around LA,” the insider says, while Mark-Paul has been staying home with their children, Michael, 6, and Ava, 4. “He’s taking it very hard,” the insider adds.

Gosselaar’s rep tells People, “They both remain focused on their family and are jointly committed to their children.”

The couple met on the set of Saved by the Bell: The College Years on which Gosselaar played the charming Zack Morris and Russell was an extra. The name of the episode was “Rush Week” and Russell’s extra role was as a “sorority girl.”

It’s hard to imagine an acting career taking a step down from being an extra in Saved by the Bell: The College Years, but if this trailer for A.P.E.X. starring Lisa Ann Russell is any indication, that’s exactly what she did:
