The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown and his ex-wife have agree to settle a lawsuit in which she alleged he led a secret life during their marriage that included several affairs.

The couple agreed to voluntary dismiss the lawsuit and “any and all claims and counterclaims in this matter,” according to court papers filed on Monday in a New Hampshire court.

“Blythe Brown and Dan Brown have reached an amicable resolution of their disagreements, and will have no further comment,” Blythe Brown’s lawyer Harvey Wolkoff said in a statement. “They request that their desire for privacy and closure be respected.”
