"After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have decided to end our marriage," the 53-year-old fashion designer wrote. "We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together."

The couple’s love story began in 1991 when they met as students at George Washington University. After dating for seven years, they tied the knot in 1998 and built a personal and professional life together. Berman played an integral role in Zoe's fashion empire, serving as the cofounder and co-CEO of Rachel Zoe Inc.

Fans of the couple, who have followed their relationship over the years, expressed their shock and sadness at the news. Their marriage was often viewed as one of the stronger and longer-lasting relationships in the public eye.

Just last year, the couple celebrated their 31st anniversary, with Zoe sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram. "I have loved you @rbermanus from this day 8.29 ❤️ 31 years ago … we have done this life together, and I cannot wait to see what is yet to come," she wrote, celebrating their decades of life and love together.
