“We had not planned on releasing a statement at this time - certainly not while the television show was airing - but constant speculation about our marriage has, unfortunately, forced our hand.”
“Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time.”
She added: “Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”

She wrote: “Thank you all so much for your BEYOND lovely messages about the show! I love that so many of you are saying you find it funny and relatable.”
“The goal was to keep it 100% real, which is scary, so to have so many mums and couples saying this is exactly what they like about it is a huge relief, comfort and joy. Thank you so much.”
Hopefully the pair will be able to continue to co-parent and find peace outside of their marriage.
