LONDON (AP) _ Gillian Anderson and documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne have separated after 16 months of marriage, their lawyers said Monday.

``Gillian Anderson and her husband, Julian Ozanne, are saddened to announce that their marriage is at an end and they are in the process of separating,'' said a statement released by Schillings law firm.

``At this difficult time they request that their privacy is respected. There will be no further comment.''

The couple married at a friend's beach house on Lamu's Shella island, off Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.

Anderson, 37, who starred as agent Dana Scully in TV's ``The X-Files,'' has an 11-year-old daughter, Piper, from her previous marriage to production designer Clyde Klotz.
