Some couples handle this in a very professional manner when there isn't cheating involved. We know one couple where they mutually decided that it wasn't love any more so they went their separate ways. They still get along as friend though. So emotionally mature.

Who said they're less happy apart than they were together? Maybe they're both happier this way.

#6I saw some people on Twitter suggesting that this confirms rumors. I hadn't seen any rumors. Is there anything known or suspected about why they're splitting?

Well a big question is also the future of their foundation. They have achieved a lot with it and helped a great deal of people around the globe. So a messy divorce would have quite a wide range of implications. So I share your sentiment.
