“We have mutually agreed to a divorce, but will remain a team when it comes to our kids,” he wrote. “We created one of the greatest stories, almost a decade together, so many memories, so many accomplishments, but every book comes to end.”

“We both understand that holding on is believing that there’s only a past, and letting go is knowing that there’s a future. And we both are supporting each other’s future.”
