Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray are separating to date other people — without moving out or divorcingBy Lee Brown

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio and wife Chirlane McCray announced Wednesday that they are splitting after 29 years of marriage — so that they can date other people without living apart or getting divorced.
“I just want to have fun,” McCray — who was living as a lesbian when they met — told The New York Times in a joint interview announcing the split.
The couple claimed that the decision came during a heart-to-heart at home about two months ago in which they discussed why they were not “lovey-dovey anymore.”
However, they conceded that the marriage started crumbling years earlier — especially during the then-mayor’s disastrous 2020 run for the White House.
“I thought it was a distraction,” McCray said of the much-mocked bid that never came close to succeeding.
