"In the last 2 years our family has experienced incredible joy and devastating loss. During this time, we found comfort in knowing we had each other. Despite our better efforts to absorb the changes in motion, the emotional burden and the post-traumatic distress of our individual loss outweighed our will," read the statement. 

She says the couple decided to divorce after consulting their family members and going through counselling. 

"After months of separation and consultations with our family and counsellor, we have taken the decision to officially file for divorce."

She added that it was not an easy decision to make. 

"This was a difficult decision to come to and even more heart-breaking to have to announce," she wrote.
