Zoe and the 55-year-old banker said in their heartfelt statement, “After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage.” “We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together,” they added.

With love and gratitude - Rachel & Rodger.”

Recalling his first meeting with Zoe, Berman told Harper's Bazaar in 2011, “I met Rachel in the summer of 1991. She was 19, and I was 22. She was a restaurant hostess, and I was working as a waiter in Washington, D.C., where we both attended college.”
“I vividly remember the first time I saw her — wearing a tight black mini dress, high-heeled pumps, stick-straight hair, and big red lips covered in M.A.C. Chili lipstick,” he added.
