“I sat down with my wife Georgina, who I love more than anything, and we discussed what was best for our family.”
He added,
“We discussed the possibility of a separation and I encouraged her to do what was in her heart. In the end, she made the decision to separate.”
Their divorce was finalized by January 2018.
