In a deeply emotional revelation that has stunned fans, singer-songwriter Christina Perri has announced she and husband Paul Costabile are ending their marriage after seven years together.
The Jar of Hearts hitmaker shared the heartbreaking news via Instagram, posting a poignant black-and-white photograph of the couple looking away from each other with the simple but powerful caption: "divorce."
Seven-Year Marriage Comes to an End
The couple, who tied the knot in December 2017 after a whirlwind romance, had become known for their public displays of affection and seemingly strong bond. Their relationship had weathered significant storms, including the tragic loss of their daughter Rosemary in 2020.
Perri and Costabile share two surviving children - daughter Carmella, aged four, and one-year-old son Pixie. The separation raises questions about co-parenting arrangements for the young family.
A Love Story That Captured Hearts
Their romance began in 2017 when they met through mutual friends, with Costabile proposing after just six months of dating. The music video producer had been a constant supportive presence throughout Perri's career highs and personal challenges.
The couple's wedding was an intimate affair in California, with Perri famously walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of her hit song A Thousand Years.
Navigating Tragedy Together
The pair had faced unimaginable heartbreak in November 2020 when their daughter Rosemary was stillborn at full term. Perri had been open about their grief journey, with Costabile being her "rock" throughout the devastating experience.
Their resilience following this tragedy made their eventual reconciliation and the birth of their son Pixie in 2022 seem like a testament to their strength as a couple.
Fans React to the Shocking News
Social media has been flooded with messages of support from devastated fans who had followed the couple's journey. Many expressed surprise at the announcement, given their recent appearances together still portraying a united front.
Perri's representatives have not yet commented on the reasons behind the split or any future arrangements regarding their children and shared assets.
The 37-year-old singer continues to work on new music, with fans now wondering how this personal upheaval might influence her future artistic output.
