    BEIJING, Mar. 4 -- Former Bond girl Denise Richards has shocked Hollywood by filing for divorce from her husband Charlie Sheen, while pregnant with the couple's second child.

    The actress' agent, Chuck James, confirmed the breakup but did not elaborate. "Out of respect for all the parties, this is a private matter," Jones said. In court documents, Richards cites "irreconcilable differences," according to AP.

    Richards is seeking full custody of the children, and has asked Sheen be granted visitation rights, reports said.

In the legal papers, filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Richards also demands "miscellaneous jewellry and other personal effects," as well as "earnings and accumulations of Petitioner from and after the date of separation".

    The divorce comes completely out of the blue for the couple, who seemed to be perfectly happy when they were recently interviewed about their new baby news. 

Richards, 34, and Sheen, 39, married in June 2002 and co-starred in "Scary Movie 3." 

    Sheen, who now stars in the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," is best known for his work in the movies "Platoon," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Hot Shots."

    Richards, a former Bond girl, has appeared in a host of movies, including "Wild Things" and "Starship Troopers."
