Former New York City mayor and 2020 White House hopeful Bill de Blasio (D) told The New York Times he's separating from his wife, though the couple are not planning to divorce.
De Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, will date other people while they continue to share their townhouse in the exclusive Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope.
As Fox News reports:
Married for 29 years, the couple says they do not plan to get a formal divorce, but they will start seeing other people even while still living together. De Blasio and McCray made the peculiar announcement in an extensive dual interview with the New York Times on Wednesday.
“I just want to have fun,” McCray told the Times.

De Blasio went on to acknowledge that McCray had been calling herself a lesbian when they first met. He said that reality always caused him to harbor doubts about their relationship.
“For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian' … there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you're going to regret later on?'” he told the Times.
The onetime chief executive of the country's biggest city blamed the stress of the job on his marriage's deterioration. An unabashed liberal, de Blasio received mixed ratings during his tenure. Many noted his frosty relationship with law enforcement and occasional failure to manage everyday municipal affairs.
De Blasio represented New York City as mayor from 2014-2021. Ineligible to run for a third term, he mounted a long-shot bid in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. In May 2022, de Blasio announced a campaign to run for Congress in New York's redrawn 10th Congressional District. The former mayor dropped out of the race on July 19, claiming he was done with “electoral politics.”

So sad when a relationship falls ill. Even sadder is when you don’t try to nurse it back to health, but rather you simply call it something else and pretend it’s OK. It’s NOT OK.
Typical of the lefty lifestyle.
They truly deserve each other
Took the words right out of my mouth. The Degenerate Party continues to surprise and shock nobody. .
HOW WONDERFUL BIG GUY! TWO MORE IDIOTS. WHO CARES?????
An all-around whacked-out lefty loser. No surprise.
Insecurity comes in all forms.
I guess that the Millions of Dollars that just Disappeared when he was in office is supporting their ”Separate Lifestyle Situations” now because that would be the only attraction anyone could believe about either of these two “has-beens” and visualizing (Literal translation of “seeing other people) will be an “Eye-Opener for both of them! Remember, “Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer it is to the end, the faster it goes” (Origin unknown)
Why not just “Write a book” ??Probably more satisfaction in that than anything else! Oh was that supposed to be a “Formal announcement”?
Any applicants for your attention within your “New Freedoms”??
Good Luck with That!
Who cares, both are never were, yet alone has beens. A terrible stain on NYC forever
We need to know about more of their mental state after their gone ?
How unfortunate. They made such a beautiful couple.
Marry whom you will, but ignore the red flags at your peril.
How sick is this?
