After 12 years of marriage, Vanessa Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are going their separate ways, the couple announced Thursday.

In a statement to Page Six, the Trumps said that while they are ending their marriage, they will "always have tremendous respect for each other and our families." A public court record filed Thursday shows that Vanessa Trump, a former model, is seeking an uncontested divorce from Donald Trump Jr., an executive at the Trump Organization and the eldest son of President Trump. The Trumps, both 40, married in 2005 and have five children.
