It was a Washington love story that followed a Hollywood script: But now Al and Tipper Gore’s marriage is coming to an end.
The former Vice President, 62, and his wife, 61, are separating, they announced Tuesday. The couple, who have four children, have been married for 40 years.
The Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration,” according to an e-mailed statement obtained by The Associated Press Tuesday.
Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the couple, but declined further comment.
