A former Mayor of New York City in the United States, Bill de Blasio, and his wife, Chirlane McCray, announced they are separating after 30 years of marriage — without filing for divorce and while still living together for now. In a three-hour-long interview with The New York Times, the pair explained that their union had grown stagnant and they needed a change, NBCNews reports.

De Blasio shared The New York Times story in his Twitter feed, writing:"Even at this moment of change, this is a love story." “For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian,’” de Blasio said, “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?’ So I always lived with that stuff.”A deadpan McCray asked the newspaper to print their phone numbers, while de Blasio hoped he'd look best with a picture of himself working out.
He won election to Gracie Mansion in 2013, scoring an upset in the Democratic primary against City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who had been seeking to become the first openly gay mayor of America’s largest city.
