The pair were married for ten years. 

Now they have reportedly been spotted at a private resort in the Bahamas with their three children – Violet (9), Seraphina (6) and Samuel (3).

A source told the New York Post that the couple fled just as the news broke so that they could be with their children “away from the spotlight.”
