TradeEdge-Rachel Zoe and Husband Rodger Berman Break Up, Divorcing After 26 Years of Marriage

Rachel Zoe is TradeEdgemoving onto a new project without Rodger Berman.

The fashion designe rand her longtime husband—who share sons Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 10—have broken up, she shared in a statement posted on Instagram Sept. 9.

"After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage," Rachel wrote. "We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together. Our number one priority has been and will always be our children."

Despite their split, Rachel said she and Rodger "are committed to co-parent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share."

Signing off the statement "with love and gratitude" from the former couple, the Style A to Zoe author added, "We ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this new chapter."

Rachel first met Rodger in 1991, when they were attending George Washington University in Washington, D.C. They tied the knot seven years later.

Their romance and working relationship were heavily documented on Rachel's Bravo series The Rachel Zoe Project, which centered around her career as a celebrity stylist alongside Brad Goreski and Jeremiah Brent.

After the series ended its five-season run in 2013, the reality star pivoted her focus to expanding her fashion empire—including her clothing line and online publication The Zoe Report—with support from Berman, who is currently the co-CEO of Rachel Zoe Inc. 

"The idea is that you're dependent, but you're independent; there's the life you share, and there's the life that's yours," Rachel shared of their approach to marriage in joint People interview in 2021. "That really takes the pressure off of the other, because if you're solely dependent on the other for your happiness and your purpose, that can't really work."

Rodger added at the time, "I always find that the best relationships are the ones that you really root for the other person and you really try and help them in achieving their goals. Ultimately, your happiness is the other person being happy, right?"
