After 14 Years, Princess Märtha Louise And Ari Behn Divorce

Princess Märtha Louise and Ari Behn are divorcing after 14 years of marriage. The shocking news was released in a statement by the couple earlier today by the royal house.
“Life does not go smoothly. It has both Ari and I experienced,” says Princess Martha Louise. “But most clearly is that now, when life has made some antics we had never envisaged. In these days goes namely we two apart. We end the marriage, but remain together in parenthood.

“It is unspeakably sad for both of us to discover that the road ahead does not go together in the way it used to. We have, as so many grown apart – to places we no longer meet as we did before. It is terrible to experience that there is nothing more we can do. That we have tried everything for a long time and that we still can not be met where we did before, making it impossible for us to continue.

We feel guilty because we are no longer able to create the safe harbor shared our children deserve. But we hope and believe that we will manage to hold on to friendship through what lies ahead. We pray and hope that we get peace in this sensitive process. Children need time to digest, grieve and find new footing – each one separately. We are just people we grown-ups too.”

The King and Queen released a statement saying, “There are many who are affected when a marriage dissolveS. It is painful and sad – also for us who stand around. We are pleased to Ari and are grateful for all that we as a family have experienced together. We want a good relationship with Ari in the future.”

Princess Märtha Louise and Ari Behn married on May 24, 2002 and have three children together: Maud Angelica, Leah Isadora and Emma Tallulah. The couple will share custody of the children and they will continue to attend the same schools they are currently attending according to the statement.
