Anthony LaPaglia and ex-wife Gia Carides have sold their marital home in Los Angeles for significantly less than the earlier asking price.
The former couple had been married for 17 years before LaPaglia filed for divorce in March last year - and the Without A Trace star, 57, subsequently began dating Alexandra Henkel, 26.
The luxury Brentwood Park property sold for AUD$11million ($8.2million US), according to Variety - six months after it was put on the market in November at around AUD15.2million ($11 million US).

Splitsville: Anthony LaPaglia and ex-wife Gia Carides have sold their marital home in Los Angeles for AUD$11million ($8.2million US), notably less than the earlier asking price of AUD15.2million ($11 million US)
LaPaglia and Carides, 51, reportedly owned the secluded residence in California for over 15 years, after buying in 2000 for around AUD$6.15million ($4.45million US).
However the recent Variety report contradicts this, claiming the Australian actors actually purchased the secluded residence in 2003 'for an undisclosed amount', according to property records.
In the architectural style of a 1940's American farmhouse, and 'surrounded by multi-million dollar homes', the exceptionally private property sits on a sweeping half-acre plot of land.

It also features a rustic Provencal-style kitchen, which gets drenched in morning light, a separate guest house, staff quarters, a red bricked pool, sports court and sprawling green lawns.
Realtor Juliette Hohnen, one of the Wall Street Journal's top 250 realtors in the US, said in the property's listing: 'This is the private celebrity compound you have been looking for.'
