Following nearly 20 years of marriage, the actress, 50, announced on her recently reactivated Instagram account Wednesday that she and the musician, 44, were separating.

The statement continued that we were united in our decision to part with respect and care for one another. Families are of paramount importance to us, and we will continue to thrive despite a different structure.
Toni Collette and Dave Galafassi share two children: Sage Florence, 14, and Arlo Robert, 11; they were married in 2003 and have been dividing their time between Australia and the United States since then. “We are grateful for the space and love you give us during this transition,” the couple wrote, concluding, “Big thanks.” In her Instagram Story a few hours before sharing her news, Collette shared a cryptic quote that read: No matter what your current circumstances are, if you can imagine a better life for yourself, you can achieve it. A paparazzi photograph of Dave Galafassi making out with a mystery blonde early Wednesday morning prompted the actress’ suspicious social media activity.
