Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie have split.

The singer-actress, 26, and her former hockey-pro husband, 33, "have mutually decided [upon] an amicable separation," a rep for Duff confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"They remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives. They are dedicated to loving and parenting their amazing son, and ask for privacy at this time."

A source close to Duff, who wed Comrie in August 2010, says, "There was no major incident – no big event between the two of them. They really did drift apart. They have put effort and thought into this decision for a long time. They tried couples therapy, but in the end, they realized at this time, they work better as friends. And they really are great friends."



The couple plan to co-parent 21-month-old son Luca Cruz. "They're still going to go to the park together," adds the source.

The split was not "a rash decision," the source tells PEOPLE. "It's something [Hilary] thought through," the source explains. "She really does care about him and he really does care about her."

The former Disney star spoke effusively about her husband in 2009: "I've never met anyone who can say a bad word about him," she said. "He's generous, caring and sunny. We just laugh our heads off."

Duff told PEOPLE in October that Comrie has since become a wonderful dad as well.

"He's an amazing father," she says. "He's so patient and loving and involved. He's all the things that I knew that he would be."

Her being 'best friends' with her ex husband and father of her kid will be awkward as hell for rebound guy.

She's only 26? Man, I always figured she'd be early-mid twenties in Lizzie McGuire, and that was 12-13 years ago.

Holy shit, 2001 was 13 years ago. Duuuuude.

Because he's a f***ing dick head who caused the last great Oilers goalie to leave the NHL because he was banging his wife and prevented us from getting future MVP Corey Perry!!!

Also f*** you Mike Comrie for having The Brick cold calling me once every few months all because I bought a shitty chair from your dad's furniture store once in 2010.

Well, I get that he played hockey, but what is a pro husband? Is that what Kevin Federline did?

Meh.

She's cute, but were you to somehow actually snag her, the culture shock would be ridiculous.

She probably has no concept of how two people being with each other actually works without cameras being involved.

I figured you were gonna enjoy this one. I totally forgot she married Comrie. Also if it helps the Flyers dumped his ass after like half a season so the Oilers didn't really lose that trade...but they didn't win either.

We lost because Comrie didn't want go to Anaheim, but he didn't have a NTC so the deal was going to be Comrie for Corey Perry straight up but Kevin Lowe wanted an extra 2.5 million dollars from the Ducks because he didn't feel like that was a fair trade. And yet Lowe still has a job and admitted recently he has the final say and is involved very much in the GM team.

Also Tommy Salo never cameback to the NHL which is sad because he was at his peak and was one of the most entertaining goalies in the league. He could of been making exciting high light reel saves in other team and possibly won a cup or been the perfect goalie to lead an exciting Cinderella Team Playoff run.

Also one more time....HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA f*** YOU MIKE COMRIE!!!!!

What is up with the mid-00s Oilers cheating on each other's wives? Comrie and Pronger both being the guiltiest parties.
