Natalie Maines has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Adrian Pasdar, USA TODAY has confirmed.

The Dixie Chicks singer, 42, shares two sons, Jackson Slade, 16, and Beckett Finn,13, with Pasdar, 52.

"It's a private family matter," Maines' rep, Cindi Berger, tells USA TODAY.

The couple has been together for 17 years, marrying at the A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in 2000. They met at Dixie Chicks bandmate Emily Robison Strayer's wedding, where Maines served as a bridesmaid and Pasdar was a groomsman.

Pasdar stars on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Maines made headlines with the Dixie Chicks when the band returned to the Country Music Awards last year, singing Daddy Lessonswith Beyoncé.

When Maines released her 2013 solo rock album, Mother, she covered Jeff Buckley's Lover, You Should've Come Over."(It's) the song Adrian and I woke up to every morning the first year we were together," Maines told USA TODAY at the time of release. "That was what the alarm clock was set to."
