LOS ANGELES — Wayne Brady is officially single again. The 35-year-old comedian has been living separately from his wife, Mandie, for four years, but the couple's divorce was just finalized this week.

According to papers filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the pair married in April 1999 and officially separated in April 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. They have one daughter, 5-year-old Maile Brady.

"Mandie is my best friend. We still love each other and we are raising our beautiful daughter Maile together as a team," Brady said in a statement issued by his publicist.

The couple used a mediator to arrive at a final divorce settlement. Details about their child custody, child support and property-division arrangements were not made public.

Brady recently guest-starred on TV's "Everybody Hates Chris" and "How I Met Your Mother."

They lived apart for 4 years after marrying in '99. I know how stressful it can be to raise a baby, but it does seem they threw in the towel a bit quickly. Good luck to all 3 of them.
