Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie
Twenty-five years later, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing.
The billionaire and his wife announced the development in a co-signed statement on twitter an hour ago.
“We want to make people aware of a development in our lives. As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends,” the statement on Jeff’s twitter account (@JeffBezos) reads in part.
In what appears to be the most heartwarming divorce statement ever, the couple said that if they had known 25 years ago that this divorce would happen, they would do it over again.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.”
The statement suggests that the couple might continue to work together as partners.
