Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife Chirlane McCray have separated after 29 years of marriage but they will bizarrely continue to live in the same house and date different people without getting divorced.

The odd progressive couple made the announcement on Wednesday. De Blasio’s wife is an admitted lesbian but married him anyway.

“I just want to have fun,” McCray, who was living as a lesbian when the two met, unabashedly told The New York Times in a joint interview announcing the split. She added, “It’s not that we haven’t had fun.”

The duo claimed they made the decision during a heart-to-heart at home approximately two months ago. They spoke with one another about why they were not “lovey-dovey anymore.” But the stress fractures in the marriage appeared years ago during De Blasio’s failed 2020 run for the White House.

“I thought it was a distraction,” McCray said of the disastrous bid for the presidency that was mocked all over the place.

McCray bluntly stated that she only stood by her husband because the presidential run was “not the kind of thing where you can break ranks … That’s part of the difficulty of being part of a package.”

De Blasio, 62, conceded that his wife’s description of his political aspirations was “kind of true.”

“Point for Chirlane,” he said during the nearly three-hour interview at their Brooklyn home.

De Blasio also blamed his eight years as mayor for his failing marriage.

“Everything was this overwhelming schedule, this sort of series of tasks,” he carped. “And that kind of took away a little bit of our soul.”

In an evident admission, the former mayor asserted that the COVID crisis made him “emotionally very needy.” He also claimed that it left him and his wife “not as connected.”

The two were just full of “blame” during the interview. McCray blamed the lack of “infrastructure” for her own political aspirations which included mental health initiatives.

According to the New York Times, the marriage was also hyped as De Blasio not being “some boring white guy,” as one of their two adult children once said.

Showing that the marriage was mostly in name only and selfishness was more at play, McCray called supporting her husband while having aspirations of her own a burden.

“How can you be a couple in the fullness of what you tend to think … when you’ve got this responsibility on your shoulders and you don’t want to add to that?” she asked during the interview. “There’s a certain weight … that goes with being with Mr. Mayor.”

She went on to say that her husband was very different before getting into politics.

“He was very easy to fall in love with,” she said of the man she married in 1994.

As for De Blasio, he always worried that it wouldn’t work out.

“For the guy who took the chance on a woman who was an out lesbian and wrote an article called ‘I Am a Lesbian’ … there was a part of me that would at times say, ‘Hmmm, is this like a time bomb ticking? Is this something that you’re going to regret later on?’ So I always lived with that stuff,” he noted.

“You can’t fake it,” McCray said during the interview as they proclaimed they don’t plan to divorce or for either of them to move out. The strange couple even held hands and high-fived each other during the announcement.

“You can feel when things are off … and you don’t want to live that way,” De Blasio remarked. “One of the things we’re saying to the world is we don’t need to possess each other.”

Both husband and wife claim they can’t wait to date other people. McCray even joked that the New York Times could publish her phone number. De Blasio bragged about his body and looks as well.

“Can I put a picture from the gym in there?” he asked during the interview while pointing out his new hair color and cut. “I like feeling what I feel.”

People on Twitter are unsurprised, unimpressed, and generally offended by De Blasio in general:
