GMA co-host Lara Spencer and her husband David Haffenreffer split after fifteen years of marriage.

“After a lot of thought, care and consideration, we have decided to end our marriage,” Lara Spencer and David Haffenreffer announced in a joint statement to Page Six.

“It’s a sad decision that did not come easily, especially because we respect and love each other and our children.”

The couple added: “They remain our top priority. We will raise them and care for them together.” 

In 2000, Lara Spencer and David Haffenreffer wed in Southampton when she was a contributor to ABC’s Good Morning America.

David Haffenreffer was a CNN reporter at the time before becoming a real estate broker.

During the wedding festivities, Lara Spencer explained to Martha Stewart that she wanted to marry in the gorgeous neighborhood because “that’s where our courtship began and where it continues. We couldn’t think of a better spot”.

Lara Spencer and David Haffenreffer split is amicable and a scheduled family vacation will go on as planned next week.
