‘’I am seperated right now. People thought it was a joke but it wasn’t. Some people were like do you want to promote a show and I was like you definitely do not know my design.

He said he and Elsie are ‘’cool” and that he made the announcement after they had celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary.
