Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) has publicly announced his and his wife’s intention to stay married and live in the same house, but to « date other people. »
De Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, posed for a photoshoot with the New York Times as part of a profile detailing the history of the couple’s relationship and announcing their separation. According to de Blasio, the beginning of the end was when he started seeing a therapist during COVID-19. « It made me emotionally very needy, » de Blasio said.
The former mayor’s wife also cited de Blasio’s failed presidential bid as a fracturing point in their relationship, to which de Blasio sheepishly agreed. She called her husband’s 2020 presidential ambitions a « distraction. » De Blasio dropped out of the race, following low polling and his failure to qualify for a primary debate.
