Last April, Seymour and Keach announced that they were “separated and have been for several months.� They said that they were “negotiating the terms of their divorce� and planned to “continue their relationship as devoted parents to their children, as business associates and partners, and in their joint dedication to preserving and furthering the charitable endeavors that they’ve worked on throughout their marriage.�

However, Seymour left the date of separation as “TBD,� according to the court documents.

A few days later, she addressed the breakup on “The View.�

“Obviously, it’s really devastating,� she said. “It did happen a while ago. It was sort of kept quiet.

“We open our hearts to one another. We respect one another. We’ve been together 22 years, and we will be together the rest of our lives raising our children and doing things like the Open Hearts Foundation.�
