"After 19 years together, we separated in January, knowing we'd always be a family who loves, values and cares for each other. We recently made the difficult decision to divorce, but we remain close and are deeply grateful for the life we've shared and the wonderful daughter we've raised."

"P.S. Totally crying as we post this," Grey and Gregg signed off on the bittersweet post.
