'View' host Sherri Shepherd's husband seeks separation

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Court records show the husband of comedian and "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd has filed for legal separation after nearly three years of marriage.

Lamar Sally filed for separation May 2 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The pair married in August 2011, and Sally's filing states they are expecting a son who is due in July.

Sally is seeking custody of the child when he is born, with visitation for Shepherd.

The filing also asks a judge to invalidate the couple's prenuptial agreement based on fraud. It does not provide any further details.

An email sent to Shepherd's agents was not immediately returned. Shepherd's manager Darris Hatch also did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
