In a surprising turn of events, Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman have announced their separation after 33 years together, including 26 years of marriage. The fashion stylist revealed the news via a joint statement on her Instagram on September 9. They emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their two sons and managing their family business despite the split. The couple requested privacy as they transition into this new chapter in their lives.
Although the announcement came as a surprise to many, hints of their relationship struggles had emerged earlier. Back in 2021, both acknowledged needing space from one another. Zoe mentioned the importance of independence alongside their shared life. Berman noted Zoe handled most household responsibilities, joking that he contributed only to physical tasks.
Despite their lighthearted banter, recent developments suggested a potential divide was on the horizon.
Rodger Berman’s Notable Absence from Rachel Zoe’s Social Media
Rachel Zoe’s social media activity also sparked speculation about their relationship status. Her last post featuring Rodger was on Father’s Day, June 16. Since then, he has been noticeably absent from her Instagram. On August 24, Zoe shared photos from a trip to New York City with their two sons, which drew viewer curiosity about Rodger’s absence. Fans began questioning, “Where’s the Hubs?” in the comments when Zoe appeared without him.
Moreover, a fan observed that while Rachel wore her wedding ring in staged photos, it was absent from everyday images. Reports from Us Weekly confirmed suspicions when Rachel was spotted at a Los Angeles event shortly after the announcement without her wedding ring, signaling a significant change.
