Tommy Dorfman and Peter Zurkuhlen have called it quits after five years together.
Zurkuhlen, 33, filed for divorce from the “13 Reasons Why” star, 29, in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to docs obtained by TMZ.
A rep for Dorfman did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Dorfman, who came out as transgender in July 2021, met Zurkuhlen through mutual friends in 2005. They became engaged in 2015 and tied the knot the following year in Portland, Maine.
The actress previously revealed she and Zurkuhlen had “redefined” their relationship as friends in an interview with Time last July. She said at the time that her transition impacted their marriage.
“Personally, it’s wild to be 29 and going through puberty again. Some days I feel like I’m 14. As a result of that shift, the types of romantic partnerships I seek out are different,” Dorfman explained.
“I was in a nine-year relationship in which I was thought of as a more male-bodied person, with a gay man. I love him so much, but we’ve been learning that as a trans woman, what I’m interested in is not necessarily reflected in a gay man.”
Dorfman noted that she and Zurkuhlen “had incredible conversations” about how to “redefine” their relationship as friends.
“Transitioning has been liberating and clarifying,” she added.
Zurkuhlen publicly supported his partner on Instagram at the time, re-sharing an image from the Time magazine photoshoot.
“So much love. You are gorgeous and you are fully you,” he captioned it.
Dorfman also spoke out about how her life has changed since coming out as transgender in an interview with InStyle back in August.
“I just switched my hormones, and I’ve never felt better in my life,” she exclaimed. “I spent 28 years of my life suicidal and depressed and recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. I don’t think I’ve ever been genuinely happy until this past year.”
She added, “I look at the Internet chronicle of photos of me since I started working, and I can see how f–king unhappy I was in every photo. It’s wild.”
