“Our number one priority has been and will always be our children. We are committed to co-parent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share,” they wrote. The pair share sons Skyler Morrison, 13, and Kaius Jagger, 10.

“We ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this new chapter. With love and gratitude - Rachel & Rodger,” they concluded the statement.

Ahead of their announcement, Berman was noticeably absent from Zoe’s social media activity, prompting some followers to ask Zoe about Berman’s whereabouts.

Berman was last featured on Zoe’s profile for Father’s Day this year. She penned a thoughtful message to Berman, calling him, “One of the best to ever do it. Our boys are the luckiest and we are so grateful for you,” she wrote.

Zoe previously told PEOPLE in April 2021 that she and Berman maintain their "separate" lives apart from each other so they aren't always co-dependent.

"The idea is that you're dependent, but you're independent; there's the life you share, and there's the life that's yours," she explained. "That really takes the pressure off of the other, because if you're solely dependent on the other for your happiness and your purpose, that can't really work."

Berman agreed, adding, "I always find that the best relationships are the ones that you really root for the other person and you really try and help them in achieving their goals. Ultimately, your happiness is the other person being happy, right?"
