Former New York Mayor de Blasio and wife announce separation, but not divorce
Former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, are separating but not divorcing after 29 years of a marriage that helped lift de Blasio into the mayor’s job.
McCray, 68, confirmed the separation in a text to The Associated Press after The New York Times published a story in which she and De Blasio, 62, said they will continue to share the same Brooklyn townhouse while dating other people.
They arrived together at the realization that the spark had gone out of their relationship, they told the newspaper in a joint interview.
