Chris Harrison and his wife Gwen Jones have announced their separation after 18 years of marriage and “much heartfelt consideration.”
The popular host of The Bachelor and his estranged wife released a joint statement: “Though we have made this incredibly difficult decision to separate, our love and mutual respect remain, and we look forward to sharing in the lives of our wonderful children.”
Harrison, 40, was accused by controversial contestant Rozlyn Papa of hitting on a producer’s wife in New Zealand during season 14 of The Bachelor in 2010. At the time he retorted, “I have nothing to hide. My wife was there.”
The couple have two children; Joshua is 9 and Taylor is 7.
