Johansson, 32, filed for divorce in New York Supreme Court on
Tuesday on grounds of "the marriage being irretrievably broken."
She requested joint legal custody and residential custody of the
couple's 2-year-old daughter, Rose, according to court
documents.
The couple married in 2014. The court documents ask for the
enforcement of a prenuptial agreement dated Sept. 24, 2014.
In a statement on Wednesday, Dauriac said it was "unfortunate"
that Johansson filed for divorce in court "and made our personal
differences so public."
"I would implore her to withdraw her action promptly and to go
back, as uncomfortable as it might be, to the negotiating
table," he said.
The "Lost in Translation" actress declined to comment on the
divorce.
"As a devoted mother and private person and with complete
awareness that my daughter will one day be old enough to read
the news about herself, I would only like to say that I will
never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage,"
Johansson said in a statement.
The divorce filing comes after media reports in January that the
couple were separated. A lawyer for Dauriac said they both
presently live in New York, but not together.
This is the second marriage for "Captain America" star
Johansson, who was married to "Deadpool" actor Ryan Reynolds
from 2008 to 2011.
