“Our ultimate focus is to create stable and healthy lives for our children," she added.
Rosenbaum shared his own statement and acknowledged that although their split might be a “shock” to some fans, they’ve been considering divorce “for quite a while.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there’s no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we’ve done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage,” he told fans.
He added: “I think we’ve both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don’t see eye to eye on a lot [of] life fundamentals, those which are the building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage."
