The now-ex-couple shared two sons together Toby, 12, and Anton, 9. She wrote on her blog,

“We are feeling good and confident about this decision, which of course we made with difficulty and careI’ll always love Alex (a funny, insightful person; father of my children!), but we felt like we were on increasingly different wavelengths when it came to parenting, life, and philosophies, and though we tried mightily we couldn’t bridge the gap.”

However, there is not much known about their divorce reason.

The blogger then said that she was disclosing their divorce news because fans had recently contacted her with questions after noticing that Alex “hadn’t been mentioned lately.”

Similarly, Joanna mentioned that their close friends and family reacted to the news of the divorce with “gasps” and “chest-clutching”.

She continued,

“Friends have brought us soup and given bear hugs and texted ‘how are you doing’ every morning like clockwork. I like when people ask, ‘Should I say sorry or congratulations?’ because that question acknowledges that both things can be true.”
