LOS ANGELES – “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jesse Williams has filed for divorce from wife Aryn Drakelee-Williams after more than four years of marriage.

Williams and Drakelee-Williams married in September 2012.

Williams made headlines in June for a passionate speech at the BET Awards demanding equal rights for black people while accepting a humanitarian honour.
