She wrote: “We have worked endlessly over the last three years to make this work and have come to the conclusion that it is healthier and more respectful for us to choose this as the end of our journey as a married couple.
I’ll be honest, the last month has been one of the most awful of our lives. I want to be strong and bold and optimistic for you now, but every ounce of my energy is reserved for being those things for my children,” the lifestyle influencer said.

Till then Hollis’ had renewed their vows every five years.
His post, which was a photo from their 16th anniversary, detailed that he had posted the image back in May but removed it two days later. “Rae told [him] she didn’t want to be married anymore. That [he] could only become the man and she the woman [they] were each truly meant to be… apart. So that post with memories we’d made left me embarrassed for a vision of a future that wasn’t shared,” Dave said.
