Last week news surfaced that Aisha Tyler, one of the hosts of “The Talk” show, was getting a divorce from her husband of 20 years Jeff Tietjens.
According to reports, the couple actually separated in January 2015, but was continuing to work on their relationship.
On Monday’s all-new episode of The Talk,
the co-host spoke candidly about the emotional decision to divorce her
partner of more than 20 years. Within a few sentences, Aisha found
herself tearing up when praising a man she will always love.
Aisha Tyler said “He’s the person who
has influenced me and cared for me the most. In fact, he cared for me
even longer than my parents have cared for me and it’s very hard when
you love someone very much to also start to realize that maybe you want
different things for your lives. That’s a very difficult realization to
come to and you don’t want to accept it and you don’t want to believe
it.”
She added “I was with this extraordinary
person. I had this extraordinary love affair for 25 years of my life
and that is how I feel. I think we did it exactly right. We loved each
other passionately and lived life fully and we’re trying to let each
other go in the kindest way we possibly can and even though we’re
separating, all I want for him is joy and fulfillment and whatever he
chooses to do in his life next and whatever I can do to help him do,
that I want to do that. He’s a wonderful person. He’s been my best
friend for always my entire life. I’ll always love him. I want to say to
people out there that are speculating about it, that’s what I’m going
to say about the relationship and the rest of it is none of your damn
business.”
