'Orange Is the New Black' writer divorces husband

Lauren Morelli, one of the writers for 'Orange Is the New Black', and her husband of two years Steve Basilone have agreed to go separate ways.
The writer and her ex-husband jointly filed for divorce recently, reported TMZ.
The divorce papers further suggest that the pair separated amicably. The TV writer gets her apartment and her sapphire engagement ring. Her husband, meanwhile, gets the Mazda hatchback.
Morelli is currently dating actress Samira Wiley, who plays Poussey on the popular Netflix show. She opened up about her sexuality in a piece on Mic in May.
The writer, who got the job with the series a few months after tying the knot, said in the essay that writing about the relationship between Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, and her ex-girlfriend Alex Vause, portrayed by Laura Prepon, made her think about her own sexuality.

"I'd loved writing it, loved watching a tenderness emerge in their relationship where passion always seemed to be the ruling principle, but by that time, I was so deep in my own self-doubt that I constantly felt like a fraud.
"I was sure it was bleeding into my writing. How could it not? I was married to a man, but I wasn't straight," she had said.
