The split comes two years after Andy passed out on a bed with two women on his stag do
Geordie Andy, 35, recently joined French team Bordeaux, while Billi, 36, remained at their Essex home.
It comes two years after he passed out on a bed with two women on his stag do.
Pals said the couple filed the legal papers earlier this month. They have three children and had been together for 11 years.
In a statement, ex-England, Newcastle and Liverpool striker Andy said: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings.
"It has been a hard few months for our family and we continue to move forward amicably for our children."
A source said: "Andy and Billi care about each other a lot and have made some great memories together, but decided it was best for the family if they went their separate ways having grown apart.
"They're still focusing on the kids and being the best parents they can be and being respectful of each other.
"They want the process to be straightforward for everyone involved. Andy has been throwing himself into his football."
The couple got engaged in 2014, before finally tying the knot at the five-star Four Seasons hotel in Hampshire in June 2022.
The wedding was almost off after a picture emerged of sozzled Andy passed out in bed with two women on his Dubai stag do.
Raging Billi removed her £200,000 engagement ring and moved out.
But she forgave Andy when one of the women, Taylor Jane Wilkey, insisted he was a gent and nothing sexual happened.
At the time a pal said: "The wedding cemented their love and marks the start of a new beginning."
The pair have three children aged nine, six, and four. Andy also has two children, aged 15, and 14, from a previous relationship.
Opening up about family life last year Andy admitted it was difficult playing football away from home.
He said: "All these doors have opened up for me through football and I'm grateful for that but it has challenges.
"They're still focusing on the kids and being the best parents they can be and being respectful of each other
"People see the money but not the sacrifices. I say a lot to Billi, my wife, that I wish I could just walk down the street and be me. No one really sees me. I'm always keeping up appearances.
"The only sanctuary I have is at home. That's the only place I can be me. You're always reserved, always working, you're always wary. It's not really a way to live, is it?.
"Someone takes a picture of me and Billi having a glass of wine in a restaurant. You're always worried."
Billi shot to fame when she joined reality show The Only Way is Essex during its third series in 2011.
She quit the ITV show in 2013 and is now a Bikram Yoga teacher with a large social media presence.
The couple started dating in 2013 and he proposed in Rome in 2014.
That year Billi said: "He is one of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met."
