Lisa Ann Russell and Mark-Paul Gosselaar met cute when she had a bit part in an episode of Saved by the Bell: The College Years. That was in 1993. Now, after nearly 14 years of marriage, the Lisa Ann Russell and Mark-Paul Gosselaar divorce promises to be anything but pretty. That's because the two weren't just husband and wife. They were also mom and dad to two kids. And those kids are extremely important to Gosselaar. And also to Russell, a former Revlon model.

The Gosselaar kids are Michael Charles, 6, and Ava Lorenn, 4, and by all accounts Gosselaar is a completely devoted hands-on dad. Which means that if the couple, now only separated, does go forward with a divorce, custody could get complicated. "They both remain focused on their family and are jointly committed to their children," a rep for the couple told numerous press outlets. Here's the rub: when you're no longer a couple, "joint" commitments get really hard, really fast.
