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.
