"These past few years have been the roughest,” an insider claimed, adding: "They struggled with being home together 24/7 and were arguing constantly.

Another source credited their demise to Toth going through a "midlife crisis," saying he was "no longer the same man" he was years ago and was “dressing like someone half his age" with "weird jewelry and tattoos."
