Katie Maloney-Schwartz announced her breakup from husband Tom Schwartz in an Instagram post. She stated, “After 12 years on an adventure through life together Tom and I are ending our marriage.” She explained that the couple harbors no ill will toward each other and continues to be friends. Schwartz echoed the sentiment in his own touching Instagram post where he said, “Katie [and] I are separating. I’m not quite ready to use the ‘D’ word [because] it’s too painful. Yes my heart aches but I’ll be ok … As sad as I am, still happy to say there’s no anger or bitterness.”
While fans were left speechless following the couple’s decision to split after 12 years, their close friends and castmates instantly showed their love and support. Maloney-Schwartz’s best friend, Stassi Schroeder, commented on Instagram, “I love you.” Ariana Madix echoed this simple sentiment (per E!). Schroeder and Madix, along with Kristen Doute, also left the comments, “love you both so much,” under Schwartz’s post.
The entire Bravo TV family showed their love and support for the couple, with Shep Rose from “Southern Charm” commenting, “So I’m Wishing Strength And newfound happiness to you both even if everything seems bleak” (via The Daily Dish). The cast of “Summer House” all sent love and hugs in the comments section on both posts as well.
