Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCray announced Wednesday that they will begin dating other people —while still living together.
It’s a split, with no divorce.
“I just want to have fun,” McCray — who was living as a lesbian when they met — told the New York Times in a joint interview announcing the split.
It sounds like de Blasio’s failed presidential bid in 2020 may have been a dealbreaker.
“I thought it was a distraction,” McCray said of the White House run.
From The New York Post:
She said she only stood by de Blasio at the time because the presidential run was “not the kind of thing where you can break ranks … That’s part of the difficulty of being part of a package.”
De Blasio, 62, admitted that the description of his wildly over-ambitious aspirations as a distraction is “kind of true.”
“Point for Chirlane,” he told the Times in their nearly three-hour interview at the Brooklyn home they still plan to share.
De Blasio also blamed his eight years as mayor.
“Everything was this overwhelming schedule, this sort of series of tasks,” he complained.
“And that kind of took away a little bit of our soul.”
