“There’s no real bitterness between Danny and Rhea, because they are still close friends,” a source close to the family told RadarOnline.com.

“Both did a wonderful job raising Lucy, Daniel and Grace, and they kept their marriage alive for the sake of raising their kids.

“However, their matrimony just ran its course. Danny’s flirting and inappropriate behavior with other women infuriated Rhea; she just felt that it was time for her to move on with her life.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Rhea was finally fed up with Danny’s flirty and inappropriate ways and instigated a split.

"He may not appear to be a ladies’ man, but Danny certainly gets a lot of female attention,” a source close to the family told RadarOnline.com.

"Despite his reputation as a lovable, funny guy in movies and on TV, Danny’s actually quite the flirt and ladies' man. Like a lot of red-blooded males, if he sees an attractive girl in a coffee shop or walking down the street, he will give her the eye.

“After years of turning a blind eye to it, Rhea finally snapped. She had enough of his bad-boy behavior and wanted an end to their marriage.

“The break-up has been on the cards for a long time, probably over 10 years, because they haven’t been happy for a long, long time,” the source revealed.
