LOS ANGELES (AP) - The wife of former "The Brady Bunch" kid Barry Williams has filed for divorce, according to court papers.

Barry, 50, who played Greg Brady on the series, married Ella Mary Matt Williams in 1999. The couple formally separated earlier this month and have a 2-year-old son, according to the divorce petition filed Tuesday in Superior Court.

Ella Williams requested sole custody and asked that her husband have visits only with a nanny present, according to the petition.

Barry Williams works in musical theater, makes public speaking tours and wrote a memoir of his experience working on "The Brady Bunch" titled "Growing Up Brady: I was a Teenage Greg." It will be his second divorce. Williams was married to Diane Martin from 1990 to 1992.

The wife can have Barry visit his son with a nanny present. Gosh sounds like he did something to the wife or the son. Seems a bit odd. Sad. MUst be more the the story.

We don't know what happen and we won't unless they decide to come public with it. Sad to hear they are getting divorced. So all we can do is speculate on what has happened.

He must of done something if his ex won't trust him alone with his son. He has to have the nanny present when he sees his son? Was he abusive to her?

That is odd to have a nanny present if Barry wants to see his son...
