No reason why, no heartfelt confession about the loss of their marriage. Instead, just a swift split and a public promise to their kids.
“Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children — their well-being is our priority,” Deon and Karen said in a statement.
“We thank everyone for their understanding and support as we move forward for the good of our family.”
