Mayim Bialik announced on her blog today that her husband Michael Stone, who converted to Judaism for her, and her are getting a divorce after 9 years of marriage. The Big Bang Theory actress released the below statement before the press had their take on it:
After much consideration and soul-searching, Michael and I have arrived at the decision to divorce due to “Irreconcilable Differences.â€
Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children. It is not something we have decided lightly.
The hands-on style of parenting we practice played no role in the changes that led to this decision; relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.
The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible. Our sons deserve parents committed to their growth and health and that’s what we are focusing on. Our privacy has always been important and is even more so now, and we thank you in advance for respecting it as we negotiate this new terrain.
We will be ok.
The couple have two sons together Miles Roosevelt, 7, and Frederick Heschel, 4.
I am sad that their marriage didn’t work out because they really seemed like they were going to beat the odds.
