Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe have separated after nearly 10 years together.

Bird, a former basketball standout, and Rapinoe, a retired soccer star, announced their breakup in a joint Instagram post shared Friday.

“This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together with so much love, respect, and care for each other,” they wrote. “We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us.”

They continued: “We are so grateful to this incredible community that has held us up, welcomed us in, and supported us exactly how we are.”

“So many of you have reminded us, again and again, why loving out loud matters,” they said, confirming that they would no longer be continuing their podcast, A Touch More.

“Thank you for being with us through all of it…it means the world to us,” they concluded.
