“Our focus now is moving forward in the healthiest way possible with friendship and co-parenting our girls at the forefront of this next chapter,” the statement continued. “We appreciate your kindness, respect, and privacy at this time.”
AJ, 45 and Rochelle, 41, shared the news of their separation in March 2023 with the pair hoping to reunite in the future.
At the time, the couple, who recently attended a screening of Trolls: Band Together with their daughters, said that they were taking time apart to work on themselves with hope to “come back together and continue to nurture [their] love for one another and [their] family.”
