Rudy Giuliani and his wife of 15 years are getting a divorce, the former mayor confirmed to News 4.
Giuliani, 73, called the situation between him and Judith Giuliani “amicable” following a report in the New York Post on Wednesday revealing the divorce.
“In these divorce situations, you cannot place blame, it is 50/50, there are problems on both sides,” Giuliani told the Post.
Judith Giuliani, 63, is expected to fight over the couple’s assets, according to the Post, which says she filed a contested divorce proceeding in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“We will have to divide our properties in New York and Palm Beach,” Giuliani said.
The two married in 2003 in what was the third marriage for both of them.
