The 'Family' boss may stay with his wife on the HBO series 'The Sopranos' through mistress after mistress, but in real life, James Gandolfini is ending his marriage.

The actor filed for divorce from his wife of three years, Marcy Wudarski. They have a two-year-old son, Michael.

This may have blind-sided Marcy. Just recently she was giving her husband kudos about his loyalty and love of family. "He's got a huge family, he manages to spend time with them. We have a two-year-old boy, he spends a ton of time with him, a ton of time with me and he has an unbelievable work schedule," Marcy said in an interview.

Jimmy and his character Tony are both devoted to their families, as James puts it, "My family is very important to me. I'm very Italian in that way."
