Former Vice President of the United States and father of the current Earth-Energy movement to save us from climate disaster, and his wife of 40 years Tipper Gore have announced their intention to separate.
We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.
This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.
Without trying to speculate what became of their marriage, as details slowly unfold I wish the couple health and happiness and a peaceful separation. They've been together so long, it's hard to imagine them apart.
Hearts and prayers are with you both.
