Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán are sharing some insight into a difficult decision.
The former spouses, who have been together for 28 years and married for 21, announced on Aug. 29 that they planned to divorce after more than two decades of marriage.
Releasing a joint statement on the topic, the exes explained what led to the decision to file.
“To put it simply, we both changed, as people do, and we got used to playing roles that didn’t fit us anymore,” the joint statement shared on Instagram read. “After a lot of effort and consideration, we’ve decided to take this step, which reflects who we are today.”
Despite their decision to divorce, Leah, 54, and Angelo, 55, who share daughter Sofia, 20, plan to spend the holidays together, noting that “our bond is still strong—it’s just evolved into something different.”
The King of Queens star and her longtime husband noted that they consider the marriage a “huge success.” And the two also explained their reasoning behind being so open about the shift in their relationship.
