Jemima Kirke blames her divorce on her acting career.

The Girls star ended her marriage to Michael Mosberg last summer after seven years of marriage as she began looking at her life in a different way.

She told ES Magazine: 'I got divorced, and I attribute that to acting. And just asking myself, "Is this really me?" So much of my life has been about reaction, just following the flow rather than making a strong choice.

Acting bug: Jemima Kirke, seen here as Jessa on HBO series Girls, blames her profession on her divorce

'In acting you are always asking yourself why you do things, why you make the choices you make. Everything means something.

'And so then you start looking at your own life in that way. I've learnt a lot more about myself and started to figure out what I really want.'

And the 31-year-old actress and her husband, a former lawyer, married in 2009 and have two children together, a six-year-old daughter Rafaella and a son Memphis, four.

Happier times: Jemima has split from her husband Mike Mosberg

Jemima revealed in an interview last year that she met her husband while they were in rehab together.

‘The reason I never talked about it before is because I wasn’t sure what the f*** I was,’ she told The Telegraph. ‘When you are in rehab, and after it, you think you are an addict.

'I didn’t feel that the label fitted, but I was scared that if I abandoned it, then I would go right back to where I was. That is the message sent to you when you are in these establishments.’

Girls on film: Jemima plays Jessa on the HBO series, seen here with co-star Adam Driver

Jemima, who plays Jessa Johansson in the HBO series, appears alongside co-stars Lena Dunham, Allison Williams and Zosia Mamet in the final sixth season of Girls which airs in the U.S. next week.

However, its creator Lena says it won't be the last fans see of the characters.

'Oh, we're doing the movie,' she recently told The Hollywood Reporter. 'I'd just want to leave enough space so that we are finding them in a super different place than we left them.'
