“With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate. Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends. We kindly ask that the media respect our privacy at this time,” they wrote in a joint statement.

A source told PEOPLE that Stiller’s hectic work schedule helped contribute to the split.

“It gets hard — he has a very busy Hollywood career, and she’s been very focused on being a mom,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.

“They are a very loving family,” added the source, who didn’t expect a messy uncoupling from the pair. “[Christine] and Ben respect each other and will do anything to make sure their kids are happy.”
