Another celebrity couple has called it quits. Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy posted a joint statement on social media on Tuesday (August 4th) announcing that they are no longer in a relationship.
The statement read, “After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we have made the difficult decision to terminate out romantic relationship. We will continue to work together on television (The Muppets Tuesdays 8/7c this fall on ABC) and in all media now known or hereafter devised, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. However, our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al. This is our only comment on this private matter…unless we get the right offer. Thank you for your understanding.”
Kermit also addressed the split at the show’s TCA press tour earlier in the day saying, “It’s a day-by-day, moment-by-moment process. Piggy and I have gone our separate ways romantically. It can be tough to work with your ex. There will be an official statement released in the press. I don’t want to betray anything.”
Miss Piggy also took the stage to say, “I have no problem working with my ex, OK? It’s fine. You know what? Dating moi is like flying close to the sun. It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens.”
