First Stimulus based on Married Jointly now filing separate. Do we divide amout entered in TurboTax?

My wife and I filed jointly for 2018 and that is what our first stimulus check was based on. We filed separately for 2019 and the second round was separate. So, do we divide the amount of the first round stimulus when entering amounts on the "Let's double-check the amount you received" page of the stimulus section in Turbo Tax?
