The former couple have been married for several decades and it’s unclear what caused the split. In addition to the Sports Illustrated model, 33, the former couple is also parents to another daughter, Tina.

Though Chrissy hasn’t publicly commented on the split, she has previously opened up about her parents’ unconventional living arrangement. “So my mom lives with us. Everybody is like, ‘Where’s your dad?'” she told Us Weekly in January 2018.

She explained that Ron lived 10 minutes away and that he stopped by frequently. “He comes by every day and they’re married,” Chrissy continued. “It just works for them. It’s a good family life. We’re all very close, very tight-knit.”
