Billy Bush and his wife Sydney Davis are separating after nearly two decades of marriage.
In a statement released to PEOPLE, Bush’s reps said: ‘After almost 20 years of marriage, they have separated for the moment to evaluate their life together. They love each other and their children and are committed to a bright future.’
Bush’s lawyer, Marshall Grossman, also told PEOPLE, ‘I can confirm they are now separated and on a short-term break.’
The former Today show co-host and Davis married in April 1998 and share three daughters – Josie, 19, Mary, 16, and Lillie, 12.
Their split comes nearly a year after Bush, 45, parted ways with the Today show in the wake of his controversial, leaked 2005 conversation with Donald Trump, which came to light in a Washington Post article published in October 2016.
Trump made lewd comments about groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation with Bush, who worked for Access Hollywood at the time, that was caught on a tape.
In the now infamous recording listeners can hear Trump tell Bush, ‘And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p—y. You can do anything.’
In his first televised interview since the tape was leaked back in October, Bush told ABC News’ Robin Roberts in May that the conversation brought his 16-year-old daughter to tears.
