Tommy Dorfman and her husband, Peter Zurkuhlen, are going their separate ways. Zurkuhlen, 33, filed for divorce from Dorfman, 29, in a Los Angeles court Tuesday, according to court records

obtained by PEOPLE. The _13 Reasons Why Star _and Zurkuhlen are divorcing after over five years of marriage. Dorfman and her husband first met through a mutual friend in 2005, according to

TMZ. After getting engaged in 2015, they wed in Portland, Maine in 2016. Dorfman came out as transgender in a July _Time_ magazine profile after "privately identifying and living as a

woman" for a year prior. At the time, she explained how her transition had changed her relationship with her husband. "Personally, it's wild to be 29 and going through puberty

interested in is not necessarily reflected in a gay man." "So we've had incredible conversations to redefine our relationship as friends," she said. "Transitioning

has been liberating and clarifying." Shortly after the _Time _profile was published, Zurkuhlen publicly expressed support for Dorfman on Instagram, where he re-posted a photo from

Dorfman's _Time _photoshoot. Zurkuhlen captioned the image, "So much love. You are gorgeous and you are fully you," per a screenshot obtained by _Just Jared_. _NEVER MISS A

Dorfman opened up about life since publicly coming out as transgender in an August _InStyle__ _cover story. At the time, she told the magazine she had "never felt better." "I

just switched my hormones, and I've never felt better in my life. I spent 28 years of my life suicidal and depressed and recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't

think I've ever been genuinely happy until this past year," Dorfman said. She added, "I look at the Internet chronicle of photos of me since I started working, and I can see

how f------ unhappy I was in every photo. It's wild."
