After a lot of thought, we’ve made the decision to separate as a couple,” Megan, 40, and Sue, 45, began on Instagram. “This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together, with so much love, respect, and care for each other. We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us.”
“We are so grateful to this incredible community that has held us up, welcomed us in, and supported us exactly as we are. So many of you have reminded us, again and again, why loving out loud matters,” they continued. “Getting to create A Touch More: The Podcast and build a network around it has been a tremendous joy. The conversations, the laughter, the connection – it means more than we can put into words. While this chapter of doing the podcast together is ending, what we’ve built with you isn’t.”
Megan and Sue concluded, “Thank you for being with us through all of it…it means the world to us.”
If you didn’t know, Megan and Sue first met during the 2016 Rio Olympics at a sponsor event. They announced their engagement in October 2020.
