'Mad Men' star Elisabeth Moss is divorcing.

The actress, who plays Peggy Olson in the 60s-set advertising drama, is splitting from her husband Fred Armisen.

The 28-year-old double Emmy nominated star married the Saturday Night Live comic last October. She has now listed June 26 as the date of their separation, making it just eight months since their union.

She filed divorce papers on Monday in LA Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.

Various reports cite the couple's busy work schedules which keep them apart as one of the main reasons behind their split.

Moss recently appeared in the hit Russell Brand comedy 'Get Him to the Greek' and the misfiring Sarah Jessica Parker/Hugh Grant romantic thriller 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?'.

43-year-old Armisen has since moved on and started dating his SNL cast member Abby Elliot, 23.
