Holly Madison and Pasquale Rotella break silence on split

Holly Madison and Pasquale Rotella have opened up on social media about their decision to separate.
On Tuesday (25Sep18), editors at Entertainment Tonight reported the former Playboy Bunny and Insomniac Events founder were parting ways after four years of marriage, with Holly allegedly filing her papers “weeks ago”.
Confirming the news on Instagram that evening, Pasquale said the couple had made the decision to amicably separate “with love in our hearts and a deep respect for one another” and insisted their focus was the care of their children, five-year-old daughter Rainbow Aurora and two-year-old son Forest.
“First and foremost, we are forever partners and parents to two beautiful children, and are fully committed to raising them in an environment filled with love and positivity,” the 44-year-old wrote alongside an image of the family enjoying a day at the theme park. “Holly is a talented woman and a beautiful soul. We remain the best of friends while co-parenting and continuing to support one another in our respective passions in life.”
Remaining positive, Pasquale added: “Though it was not a decision we made hastily or take lightly, Holly and I welcome this next chapter in our relationship, and have every confidence that the future will bring only the best for us and our kids. We will always be family. Thank you all for your continued love and support.”
Two hours later, Holly, 38, re-posted the message to her Instagram account, but chose not to add her own comment.
Earlier this week, sources close to the pair told Entertainment Tonight there wasn’t a particular reason for the split, but the couple had simply “grown apart”.
Holly, a former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, and Pasquale struck up a romance in 2011 and tied the knot at a romantic ceremony in Disneyland Park, California, in 2013.
