Chris Harrison, the TV host of the show “The Bachelor”, has decided to separate from his wife, Gwen, says People magazine. The announcement was made on Thursday during an exclusive interview with the magazine.

Chris Harrison and Gwen have been together for 18 years. Their marriage seemed to go on very well because the two were never involved in any scandal. Unfortunately miracles don’t last very long and the host of “The Bachelor” told reporters that the two have agreed to part ways.

The soon-to-be ex-husbands did not make any reference to the reason that might have determined them to put an end to their marriage. On the contrary, Chris and Gwen look rather pleased with the decision they have made. They declared that they have given a lot of consideration to the decision of getting a divorce and they have come to the conclusion that it is the best option for them.

Just like many other celebrities who choose to get a divorce, Harrison, too, told the press that he will continue to bear the same respect and love for his wife. In fact, the two will work together to raise their children properly and to make sure that they don’t suffer because of the divorce.

The American TV show host met Gwen in college and they immediately started their relationship. They got married 18 years ago and had two children, Joshua, 9, and Taylor, 7. Chris has always been a great father to his children. He actually coaches their soccer teams and tries to get involved as much as possible in their educational process.

The 40-year-old star will be busy hosting the new season of “The Bachelorette” in the upcoming weeks and that should keep his mind off the divorce for a while. The show is due to premiere on May 14, on ABC.
