During the interview, Tamara recounted the moment she decided to end the marriage. "In May of last year, I sat down with Daniel and told him I wasn't feeling the same as a couple. We are a great team and will always be great companions," she shared. Daniel reportedly took the news well, expressing his understanding and admiration for her decision.
The couple's four children, who range in age from 9 to 18, were informed about the separation, with the older ones taking it relatively well.
