"I'm very concerned with the press on mine and Bob's divorce," the former Baywatch babe said via her Website Tuesday. "I know I have people who want to defend me or people who want to defend Bob, but my children can read—and I'd like to resolve this amicably—not fueling fires—and with dignity.
"Kids don't know the difference between fact and tabloid—does anybody?"
Anderson has two sons, Brandon, 10, and Dylan, 8, with ex-hubby Tommy Lee, while Rock (whose real name is Robert Ritchie) has a 13-year-old son, Robert Jr., from a previous relationship.
"Truth is, Bob is great in many ways—we just don't belong together," Anderson wrote. "We mutually agree. I love my children, he loves his son…we both have wonderful family and friends as support going thru this time."
They so mutually agree that they filed dual divorce petitions Monday, with Rock's papers getting stamped first thing in the morning, 53 minutes before his wife requested an official split. Anderson's filing cited Nov. 21 as the day the two parted ways, while Rock dubbed Nov. 26 breakup day.
In the spirit of "till death do us part," Anderson and Rock went international this summer, swapping vows July 29 aboard a yacht in Saint-Tropez (just weeks after announcing they had hooked up again after several years apart), and then returning to the States to make things legal in a civil ceremony at the Beverly Hills courthouse. They then held a third celebration at a honky-tonk lounge in Nashville.
The duo first met in 2001, were engaged by 2002 and split up (for the first time) in 2003.
Anderson, whom you can currently catch on the big screen as the object of Borat's affections, recently returned to Los Angeles from Vancouver, where she was filming the comedy Blonde and Blonder with Denise Richards.
