Nancy O'Dell has separated from her husband of 11 years, Keith Zubchevich.

Currently the focus of the Donald Trump and Billy Bush hot mic video, in which the GOP presidential nominee made lewd comments about her, the "Entertainment Tonight" host filed for separation in September — a month before the tape was published by The Washington Post.

According to Us Weekly, the demise of their marriage is completely unrelated to the controversy.

After releasing a statement about the video over the weekend, O'Dell — who was an host for "Access Hollywood" when it was shot in 2005 — addressed it on Monday's edition of "Entertainment Tonight."

"There is no room for objectification of women, or anybody for that matter, not even in the 'locker room.' The conversation has got to change because everybody deserves respect no matter the gender or setting," she said.

"And as a mom, well I have to add that our kids — especially our young girls — need to know that their hard work, their achievements, their intelligence, their heart, are most important. And those things will not go unnoticed."

O'Dell, 50, and business executive Zubchevich were married in June 2005 in Santa Barbara, California. He has two sons from a previous marriage and they have a daughter together.
