\u201cAfter a lot of effort and consideration, we\u2019ve decided to take this step, which reflects who we are today. Our bond is still strong\u2014it\u2019s just evolved into something different.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut here\u2019s the thing: we\u2019ve been best friends for so many years. We are still celebrating holidays together, watching our favorite tv shows together, and gathering as a family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope our journey can inspire others to see that relationships\u2014whether they change or end\u2014aren\u2019t failures. We\u2019ll keep sharing snippets of our lives as we navigate this new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\nLeah Remini attends the world premiere of \u201cSecond Act\u201d at Regal Union Square Theatre, Stadium 14 on December 12, 2018 in New York City.
