Keri Russell and Shane Deary are calling it quits. The Americans actress and the Brooklyn-based contractor quietly parted ways several months ago. "They have been separated since early summer," the actress' rep tells E! News. "The separation is amicable and their focus is on their children."

Married since Valentine's Day 2007, they are parents to son River, 6, and daughter Willa, 23 months.

In the holiday issue of of Capitol File magazine, Russell said she's determined to be a hands-on mom in spite of her busy work schedule. "I tend to think I can do everything myself," the former Mousketeer said. "I don't even like the word nanny, so I call them babysitters. Is that weird?"
