Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn have officially decided to end their marriage, after being together for 13 years. The representative of the "Rizzoli & Isles" star issued a statement to PEOPLE magazine regarding the said couple's decision to split.
According to the statement, "For the sake of their children, they ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this time in their lives." It would seem that the press will be a bit in the dark regarding this particular celebrity divorce.
Sehorn, a former NFL star, proposed to Harmon on TV while taping for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 1998. They got married in June of 2001 and now have three amazingly lovely daughters together.
This was actually the first marriage for Harmon and was the second for Sehorn. Sehorn had his finalized divorce papers from his first wife, Whitney Casey, in 1999, after less than a year of being married to one another.
Angie Harmon opened up about her married life with Sehorn, as well as the challenges that she had to face with regards to living apart whenever she was busy filming her show, "Your Tango," in 2011. She stated, "You have to be really considerate of each other, really kind to each other. It's a lot of work, really."
The former "Law & Order" star revealed to Good Housekeeping that very same year that communication was the key to having a good marriage. In fact, according to her, it was the most important marital rule. "Communication is a huge, huge thing in marriage," Harmon shared. "And, it doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable or brings up bad stuff. You really have to have the guts to talk to each other."
Rumors started to surface about particularly why this couple of 13 years opted to get a divorce. The strongest rumor would be the one that refers to an incident just this past summer.
Sehorn was reportedly spotted partying solo in South Carolina while Harmon lived across the country with their children. Additionally, just in July, Harmon had to get a temporary restraining order against a homeless lady who kept harassing her at her house in Los Angeles.
The judge granted the order, naming Harmon, her three children, their nanny, and a friend who sometimes lives in the house, but Sehorn was not listed as one of the property's residents.
