Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray are separating to date other people ‐ without moving out or divorcing
|
 [NY Post] Awwwkward
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray announced Wednesday that they are splitting after 29 years of marriage — so that they can date other people without living apart or getting divorced.
"I just want to have fun," McCray — who was living as a lesbian when they met — told the New York Times in a joint interview announcing the split.
The couple claimed that the decision came during a heart-to-heart at home about two months ago in which they discussed why they were not "lovey-dovey anymore."
However, they conceded that the marriage started crumbling years earlier — especially during the then-mayor’s disastrous 2020 run for the White House.
"I thought it was a distraction," McCray said of the much-mocked bid that never came close to succeeding.
She said she only stood by de Blasio at the time because the presidential run was "not the kind of thing where you can break ranks ... That’s part of the difficulty of being part of a package."
De Blasio, 62, admitted that the description of his wildly over-ambitious aspirations as a distraction is "kind of true."
"Point for Chirlane," he told the Times in their nearly three-hour interview at the Brooklyn home they still plan to share.
De Blasio also blamed his eight years as mayor.
"Everything was this overwhelming schedule, this sort of series of tasks," he complained.
"And that kind of took away a little bit of our soul."
The COVID crisis made the mayor "emotionally very needy," he now admits, saying that also left him and his wife "not as connected."
McCray, meanwhile, also blamed the lack of "infrastructure" for her own political aspirations, which sparked anger as her mental health initiatives were green-lighted under her husband’s leadership.
The Times also highlighted how the marriage was also promoted to show that de Blasio was not "some boring white guy," as one of their two adult kids once said.
