“It is with a clear mind and a loving heart that I have made the decision to end our marriage of almost 15 years,” the note began. “We have come to realize that, after a great deal of deep soul searching, that we are no longer suited to be married to one another.”

The Couple Shares Four Kids Together

The country music artist, 35, and his now ex-partner, an entrepreneur, public speaker, and social media influencer, share four children — daughters Mila, 9, and Aria, 8, and sons Leo, 6, and Atlas, 3. They informed folks that while they are fully aware that stepping away from marriage has been “a very big decision,” it’s one that they “have not taken lightly.”

“As we move forward in our next chapter of life, we look forward to continuing to co-parent our four amazing children, and we will definitely remain great friends,” the two insisted. “We look to our future with optimism, with love, and with great respect for one another. Sincerely, Brett and Cece.

They Are Grateful for Support as They Navigate a New Chapter

Alongside the letter, Kissel and Cece included their wedding rings, revealing they have removed them as they continue to walk new and separate paths in life. Even though the post has barred individuals from seeing the comments, alongside it, the exes shared a caption showing their appreciation for people who have supported them in their decision to enter a new chapter as newly single parents.

“Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate this new chapter,” the caption reads. “We would like to share that we are all doing well and have quietly been separated now for a year and a half. ❤️”

“Please don’t spend your time worrying about us and our children,” they added. “However, we would greatly appreciate your continued kindness moving forward and ask that you respect the privacy of our family. With love, Brett [and] Cece.”
