Zac Brown and his soon-to-be ex-wife have five kids together.
(Nashville, TN) -- Zac Brown and his wife Shelly are separating after 12-years of marriage.
The couple confirmed their split with "People" magazine and asked for privacy.
In a joint statement, they said, "We have led a whirlwind life together growing into a beautiful family with five amazing children and while life will be rearranging a bit, our love and commitment to our family will always be there. This was a difficult decision, but we've done plenty of tough things together and this is our next venture - love, mutual respect, and care for each other are what we are moving forward with."
They added, "Family comes in all different forms. We would like to ask that rather than commenting or spending any energy towards this, that you take this moment to send love to your family, in honor of ours."
