Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York, and his wife announced late on Tuesday that their marriage of more than two decades was over.
The couple issued a statement announcing their parting, saying, 'We regret that our marital relationship has come to an end and we have agreed not to make any other public statement on this subject.'
Mr. Spitzer and his wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, were married in 1987 and she supported his rise from the state attorney general to governor.
They have three grown children.
She stood by his side in 2008 when Mr. Spitzer resigned after admitting he had paid for sex with prostitutes, but she largely stepped out of the public eye after that.
A former corporate lawyer, she went to work in the business world.
Mr. Spitzer sought a political comeback this year by running for city comptroller but lost in the Democratic primary. Ms. Wall Spitzer did not campaign publicly for him. They have been living apart for months.
