Hollywood power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have confirmed their separation after 14 years of marriage, releasing a joint statement on Tuesday that asked for privacy and respect for their four children. The announcement comes after weeks of tabloid speculation fueled by their absence from each other's recent public appearances.
The statement, shared through their respective publicists, emphasized that the decision was mutual and amicable. 'We have enormous love and respect for each other and remain dedicated to co-parenting our children together,' the couple said. 'We ask that you respect our family's privacy during this transition.'
Reynolds and Lively, who married in 2012, have been one of Hollywood's most visible couples, known for their playful social media interactions and joint business ventures. Neither party has filed divorce papers as of Tuesday evening, and sources close to the couple say they are working with a mediator to ensure an amicable resolution.
