Rachel Zoe, after 26 years of marriage and two children, shockfully reveals her separation from spouse Rodger Berman
On social media on Monday, Rachel Zoe revealed her separation from husband Rodger Berman.
The 55-year-old banker and 53-year-old fashion designer, who were married for 26 years and had been together for 33, attended a Michael Kors dinner in June.
“After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage,” wrote Zoe in a white font on a black background.
“We are immensely proud of the loving family we have built and our innumerable memories together,” she continued.
“Our children have always been and will continue to be our top priority.” We are determined to continue collaborating in our several shared enterprises and to coparent our boys.
We kindly request your privacy while we work through this new chapter. “With love and gratitude — Rachel & Rodger,” she signed off. The sons of the former spouse are Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 10.
While attending George Washington University in the early 1990s, Zoe and Berman got to know one another. On Valentine’s Day of 1996, they tied the knot. A portion of their union was chronicled on the 2007–2013 Bravo reality series The Rachel Zoe Project.
Additionally, the two had an appearance on the 2015 season of Fashionably Late With Rachel Zoe on Lifetime. Berman is a fashion entrepreneur who cofounded and serves as co-CEO of Rachel Zoe Inc.They were regarded as a power duo in the fashion industry together.
The duo stated, “We do not pretend to be any kind of trained relationship experts, but we do really understand people and relationships,” in an interview with People in 2021 regarding their collaborative podcast Works For Us.
“Everyone is in a relationship, no matter who they are,” Zoe continued. Whatever the type, it can be a mother-daughter relationship, a marriage, a dating relationship, a friendship, or something else entirely.
She paid tribute to Rodger on social media two years ago on their 31st anniversary.
I’ve loved you, @rbermanus, for 31 years, starting on this day, 8.29 ❤️. “We have experienced this life together, and I am excited to see what lies ahead,” she captioned the photo at the time.
“My person’s happiest anniversary ❤️ Yes, all the people we met in kindergarten, she jokingly said. Rodger had already disclosed their meeting to Harper’s Bazaar.
“The summer of 1991 is when I met Rachel.” I was 22 and she was 19. In 2011, he told the journal, “She was a restaurant hostess, and I was working as a waiter in Washington, D.C., where we both attended college.”
The father of two reminisced, “I can still clearly picture the first time I saw her—a tight black minidress, high-heeled pumps, stick-straight hair, and big red lips covered in M.A.C. Chili lipstick.”
Rachel seemed to be handling things calmly in spite of the significant shift in her life.
She used the Instagram Stories feature on Sunday to share behind-the-scenes photos from her day in the sun with her 4.7 million followers.
