“This decision came after a lot of thought and care, and as hard as divorce is, we are approaching this with a positive outlook because we know it’s what’s best for us,” they penned alongside a throwback and current photo together.

“Yes, we’re sad, and we’ve got some figuring out to do as we continue to move forward into our new normal—together still in many ways, and apart in some new ones.”

They also revealed why they decided to call it quits after such a long time together.

“To put it simply, we both changed, as people do, and we got used to playing roles that didn’t fit us anymore,” they explained. “After a lot of effort and consideration, we’ve decided to take this step, which reflects who we are today.”

Pagán, 56, and Remini, 54, noted that they decided to be candid about their separation because they were so open about their marriage over the years. Their romance was featured on the TLC series “Leah Remini: It’s All Relative” between 2014 and 2015.

“We hope our journey can inspire others to see that relationships—whether they change or end—aren’t failures,” their post continued. “We’ll keep sharing snippets of our lives as we navigate this new chapter.”

Remini and Pagán met at the Cuban club and restaurant El Floridita in Los Angeles in 1996.

The actress told Redbook magazine in 2010 that it was “love at first sight.”

They walked down the aisle in 2003 and welcomed their daughter the following year.

Though their connecting was instantaneous, Remini admitted in her 2015 memoir “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology” that the entrepreneur was a “serial cheater” and hid the fact that he was married when they met.

“We did have a hard time at the beginning,” she further recalled on a 2019 episode of “RuPaul.”

“We didn’t meet under the best of circumstances. We got counseling, and it was not an easy road … but the truth of the matter is, he is my rock.”
