Fortune Femister has now taken to Instagram to share the divorce news with her fans. She took to her Instagram and wrote: “Together, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. We’ve been separated for a little bit, both of us dealing with tough health situations in our families, so it wasn’t something we were ready to talk about.
“While we are sad to see this chapter of our lives come to a close, we wish each other nothing but the best as we move forward. We’ve had 10 years together, and there’s so much to celebrate about that and so much we will look back on fondly.
“Out of respect to each other and our families, we ask for privacy as we navigate this challenging time in both of our lives.”
TMZ has reported that “According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Fortune filed earlier this week, citing the usual “irreconcilable differences.” The breakup appears to be amicable -- and there won’t be any financial fireworks thanks to a prenup the couple had in place.”
