"It's with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own," the 56-year-old wrote in an Instagram post along with an old photo of himself and the Beverly Hills 90210 star.

"We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness 🙏," he concluded.

The public immediately jumped to the former reality TV personality's comments section to share their insights on the couple's split.

"Better pay that child support Daddio," one person penned, referring to the duo's five minor children: Liam, 16, Finn, 10, and Beau 5, and daughters Stella, 15, and Hattie, 11.

"I'm sure it's for the best. Bless Tori's heart. She works fifty eleven jobs just tokeep rent paid and no contribution from you. I never understood that. May the odds be ever in both y'all's favor," a second fan shared, while a third said, “Sorry pal.”
