Chad Norrington took to social media to share some heartbreaking news tonight, leaving many fans reeling and questioning the very essence of love itself. At 9:13 PM Eastern Time, he revealed that he and Jenna Parker have “amicably decided to part ways.” Both 37 years old, the couple shares a five-year-old daughter, Lily.
The message felt like a dagger to the heart. Here’s a glimpse of Chad’s heartfelt announcement:
“Hello everyone,” he began. “We have something important to share.”
“It feels strange to have to disclose such personal news, but it comes with the territory of our public lives, which we are genuinely grateful for,” he continued. “We’re living in a remarkable time, yet it’s also a moment where reality can easily become misconstrued — so we want to set the record straight. If you read it anywhere else, it’s probably not true.”
Chad then stated, “We have amicably chosen to separate as a couple. We fell in love many years ago and have shared an incredible journey. Our love for each other remains unchanged, but love is a beautiful journey that sometimes leads us in different directions.”
Wait a second.
Back to the announcement. Chad elaborated, “There are no hidden agendas or dramatic events leading to this decision. Just two best friends realizing it’s time to create some distance and support one another in leading the fullest lives possible.”
“Above all, we are still a family and will always prioritize being loving, dedicated parents to Lily. We won’t be making any further comments on this matter, and we appreciate your understanding of our need for privacy during this time. Sending love to you all, Chad & Jenna.”
Chad and Jenna initially met on the set of “Dance Revolution” in 2006 and tied the knot in 2009. Earlier this year, Jenna mentioned in an interview, “When people say we have such a perfect life, I want to shout that no one is perfect. There can be great compatibility, but it’s about growing together, and until now, we’ve really done that.”
