Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman, who first ignited their romance as college students in 1991 and wed seven years later at New York’s Rainbow Room, have announced their separation after 26 years of marriage. The couple’s journey has been well-documented, with Zoe, a prominent stylist, achieving fame through her work with celebrities like Nicole Richie and her reality TV ventures, such as “The Rachel Zoe Project” and “Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe.”
Zoe, 53, and Berman, 55, founded Rachel Zoe Inc., where they launched successful fashion lines available in luxury stores and on QVC. They have two sons, Skyler, 13, and Kaius, 11. Their marriage began with Zoe’s whimsical reflections on her wedding, including regrets over her henna tattoo and bangs, but she cherished the commitment she made to Berman, acknowledging that their life together had been full of adventure and love.
Their personal lives were also closely followed; they welcomed Skyler in March 2011, frequently bringing him to high-profile events. Zoe expressed her deep joy and obsession with her son, describing him as a constant source of happiness. In December 2013, they celebrated the birth of their second son, Kaius, and Zoe shared her excitement about their growing family.
Despite occasional public struggles, the couple’s bond was seen as strong and resilient, with Berman praising Zoe’s inner and outer beauty in social media posts. However, by September 9, 2024, they announced their decision to part ways. Their statement emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their children and continuing their business ventures together, asking for privacy as they transition into this new phase of their lives.
