The actor announced his split from model Naama Nativ last February (10) and their divorce trial was due to begin in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York on Monday (09May11).

But the former couple managed to reach a financial settlement and a deal over custody of their two-year-old daughter, Aven, before the proceedings, and a lawyer for the star has confirmed the split was made official.

Attorney David Lansner tells the New York Post's Page Six column, ""The divorce was granted,"" while Settle adds, ""We're excited to be good co-parents with our daughter.""
