Dennis Hopper files for divorce from fifth wife

American actor Dennis Hopper is said to have filed for divorce from his fifth wife.

Hopper, 73, who is battling cancer, has in the Los Angeles court records cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split with his wife Victoria, reports People magazine.

The actor is seeking to provide spousal support for Victoria, but the division of their property is yet to be determined.

The couple have been married for nearly 14 years, and they have one daughter together, Galen, 6, who Hopper has requested for joint legal and physical custody with his wife.
