(CNN) -- Another Hollywood couple is splitting up, but thus far are keeping quiet as to the cause.

Danny DeVito, 67, and actress Rhea Perlman, 64, have separated, DeVito's rep confirms to CNN. The actor pair aren't going to a release a statement.

According to People magazine, the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" actor met "Cheers" star Perlman in 1970, backstage at one of his off-Broadway performances.

In two weeks, Perlman had moved in, the magazine says, and they married 11 years later while on a lunch break from the TV series "Taxi." The comedy, which ran from 1978 to 1983, was just one of their working projects together, including 1996's "Matilda."
