Gerry, 72, and Theresa, 70, announced the news of their split during an interview on Good Morning America this morning, when they opened up about the reasons for their shock separation.  

'Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and - and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to - dissolve our marriage,' Gerry told host Juju Chang. 

He admitted that their decision to separate was motivated in large part by their 'dedication' to their respective families - hinting that this has made it incredibly difficult for them to decide on a place to settle down together.

Er ... shouldn't that have been a point of discussion during the courtship? "Where will we live" seems like a kinda-sorta important discussion that would take priority over "what color should the bridesmaids wear."

These shows are all a fugazi anyway. It's not about love or marriage; it's about sex and celebrity. In that, their marriage has been very successful.
