A person has an intention to turn two friends into enemies. My Russia-English dictionary suggests "breed/sow discord".

His trying to breed discord among the two friends.

Is it natural? What other expressions would you use to express the idea?

Hello, Gene:

Raul and Mona are a couple. Betty secretly loves Raul, so she is doing everything possible to drive a wedge between Raul and Mona.

Best wishes
