On Friday, Shannon released a statement prior to sharing the news with her castmates as the group is currently filming the multiple-day reunion.

"It's heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this is the road that had to be taken but it's the only way," Shannon shared with People.

The star continued, "I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties. You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn't happening in our relationship."

Commenting to The Daily Dish, the celeb said they plan to work together in raising their children: "After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters. This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional time."
