Rachel Zoe has spoken candidly about her decision to end her 26-year marriage to Rodger Berman in September 2024. The fashion stylist and designer says she should have made the move sooner.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Zoe broke down the factors that led to their separation after more than two decades together.
“I 100% should have left sooner,”
she admits.
The couple, who married in 1998, grew apart over time as they evolved into different people. Zoe explains that their fundamental differences became impossible to bridge.
They share two sons together – Skyler Morrison, 13, and Kaius Jagger, 11.

The decision wasn’t made lightly, according to sources close to the family.
Focus on Co-Parenting
