Tracy Morgan revealed that he’d separated from his wife Megan before the pandemic hit and wants his last name back, BOSSIP has learned.

Megan Wollover-Morgan filed for divorce late last month, citing “irreconcilable differences” and that there was no hope of them getting back together. Megan also revealed that she’s moved out of their $8 million mansion and into a $1.7 million home a few towns away.

Tracy went public with a statement saying that, “Sadly, after nearly five years of marriage, Megan and I are filing for divorce. This is a challenging time for all involved, so I ask that you please respect our privacy.”

The next day, “The Last O.G.” star filed his answer, asking for joint custody of their daughter Maven, 7, that both sides pay child support for her and that Megan revert to her maiden name, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP.

Megan said she and her estranged husband have a prenuptial agreement and that both sides have acquired property and other assets during their nearly five years of marriage and she wants them split up in accordance with the prenup. The mom also said she has “inadequate means of support” for herself and Maven and wants alimony, child support and primary custody of the girl.

In his own filing, Tracy said they’d been having problems for more than six months and these differences had caused a breakdown in their marriage – and there was no going back. He agreed that their property and assets be split according to the prenup and that the agreement should dictate alimony payments.

But Tracy stipulated that he wants his soon to be ex-wife’s last name to revert to her maiden name, Wollover, and not remain as Morgan.

A judge has yet to rule in the case.

Last month, Tracy announced the split, saying in a statement: “”Sadly, after nearly five years of marriage, Megan and I are filing for divorce. This is a challenging time for all involved.”

The exes, who got together in 2011 and married in August 2015, were once considered one of the strongest couples in Black Hollywood after Megan helped nurse Tracy back to health when he sustained life-threatening injuries in a 2014 car accident that left him unable to walk for several months. As recently as April 2020, the funnyman boasted about his over the top quarantine sex life to journalist Hoda Kotb while he promoted the new season of “The Last O.G.”
