Barry Bonds’ marriage looks like it’s going…going…gone.
The semi-retired slugger’s wife filed for separation in Los Angeles County, in the first possible step toward striking out their 11 1/2-year union.
Elizabeth Bonds seeks joint custody of their 10-year-old daughter Aisha Lynn Bonds.
The wife checked “irreconcilable differences” and asked for spousal support in the pro-forma application. She didn’t elaborate on reasons behind the split the papers she filed on Friday.
Barry Bonds has been living in Beverly Hills since he last played for the San Francisco Giants in 2007.
After Bonds broke the all-time home run record, the team didn’t resign him and no other club picked up the disgraced slugger.
Bonds has 762 round-trippers but never escaped the cloud of accusations that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
Five weeks ago, Bonds, 44, wrote on his Web site that he was enjoying family life.
“Having a lot of free time is not something I’ve been used to my whole life, so I have really tried to take advantage of that and enjoy myself,” he wrote.
“We’ve taken a number of family vacations and I’ve started to play a little golf with my daughter. She loves to be outdoors, so it is a great way for us to spend time together.”
Bonds is still facing federal charges of allegedly obstructing justice and making false statement during a steroid probe.
