LATEST: THE SOPRANOS star JAMIE-LYNN DiSCALA has officially separated from her husband of two years, her estranged spouse has confirmed.

The actress/singer married her manager AJ DiSCALA in July 2003 at the tender age of 22, when she changed her surname from Sigler to DiScala.

While AJ, 34, denies his alleged alcohol and gambling problems caused the split, he confirmed to the New York Daily News that they are taking time out from their relationship.

He says, "There is zero truth to that (the rumours). It was a very difficult time for both of us, going from me managing her to going back to the banking world. I was going back to what I used to do.

"As of right now, it's a separation."

AJ isn't anticipating a divorce just yet, saying a reconciliation is always possible. He explains, "Anything is possible."

Since the split, Jamie-Lynn has been linked to nightclub promoter KEITH COLLINS.
