In their joint statement, Herjavec and Johnson expressed their deep sorrow over the decision and requested privacy as they navigate this difficult time. “After much consideration and reflection, we have decided to separate and pursue a divorce,” the statement reads. “This has been a very difficult decision for both of us. We are committed to ensuring our children are cared for and continue to be our top priority. We ask for privacy and respect during this time as we work through this transition.”
The couple’s separation comes as a surprise to many, given their previously strong public image and apparent affection for each other.
