Mark Stoops and his wife Chantel have decided to part ways. This afternoon, the couple released a joint statement announcing they are getting divorced, asking fans for privacy during this difficult time.

“It is very difficult to make an announcement about something that is so personal for our family, however, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We realize that we are well-known within the community and feel we need to acknowledge this publicly. We have a deep care and respect for each other and that will continue as our family moves forward. Please be respectful of our family’s privacy during this time.”
