I couldn't believe that long time husband and wife William Martinez and Yayo Aguila are now separated. The two have been married for twenty five (25) years. According to the couple, they have been separated for about one year now and they just hide it from the media to avoid sensationalizing it for their children might be affected. No third parties invloved. Too bad that they have to end their 25 year marriage.

I heard about it in the news. When they first got married, I never figured that they would last 25 years, what with William's penchant for women, its a wonder they lasted this long. It's always sad to see relationships end.

Since they married too young, I also didn't expect them to last long. It is really sad that their relationship has to end.

hi doris day I amin the US so these people are names I am not familar with at all but I always find it sad when people have spent so many years together then decided to give it up and call it quits. I was married 33 years but never decided I wanted to split. we worked out any problems and did it with love for each other. sad so very sad.

I also don't intend to get a divorce or be separated from my husband. Just like you, we always try our best to settle whatever problems we have.

Oh I can't believe it!if there's no third party then why they separated?it's a funny matter if their reason is "irreconcilable differences" for 25 years they endured the differences?I don't think so, maybe there's deeper reason into it. Couples who reached 25 years of marriage are already passed the thorny road of relationships but why such move to separate?such a silly stuff.

I also could not believe it. If I were in their case, I would surely try to save the 25 marriage.

This is sad. After a very long span of time, they decide to break up. I thought that they will last for their whole lifetime. They could have been an inspiration to most of the celebrities.

Hi, Here where I live in Latvia I am not familiar with this people, but It is hard to hear something like this. They was lived 25 years together and now It is ended. My parents too is married about 25 years now. I think It is something fantastic that people can live together so long. I am only teenager and maybe this is reason why I think that It is almost impossible. Now kids too would be hard life. But, just imagine they was separated about one year and they was hide It from media. Because, at the same time media always know all things. Take care, Have a nice day!

Yes it is really sad, but I guess this is better than they continue to pretend everything is alright which could lead to more serious problems. All their children have their own minds so I think they already understand and they can better cope up with the separation of their parents.

It's sad to see relationships this long end up like this. They've been together for almost 1/4 of their lifetime and now they'll break up? It may not be caused by 3rd party involvement but it's still a break-up. Maybe they're just not that compatible at all? Who knows?

hi doris, its always sad hearing news like this. i am also surprised to know it when all i know is that they are probably one of the strongest couple in showbiz. i think its just that yayo is already pushed to her limits. maybe she just can stand things anymore. are they getting divorced? i wish not. maybe they just ned some time and space to think about it again and again. yayo have sacrificed a lot to their marriage already and she's always there with william at all times... actually i admire yayo for being patient..but well we don't really know what's happening inside their house and in their life as to why they end up to this decision... i just hope that whatever happens, everything will turn good for all of them.

Oh, that's sad. I haven't really watched the news these days. It really makes me feel sad to see or hear about relationships ending, especially when you have invested so much time together- what is 25 yers, right?

that's too bad. I guess some good things never last and their marriage is one of them. When you look at them, you can say that they're really made for each other. I heard about the hardships and sacrifices that william has to go through just to be with Yayo (or is it albert?). But i guess everybody goes through the same thing, it's just a pity that they're celebrities and they're private lives are public properties. But i think we should commend them for lasting that long. Life has to move on and they should as well.

Oh, I just learned about this today. I have always admired this couple. They were able to stay together for 25 years and that is quite uncommon with marriages nowadays. There was a comment earlier that they were able to hang on for 25 years and then why just break up now right? I appreciate the sentiment and I also asked myself that question. Let us just leave it to them to sort out or whatever. I feel sad for them and for their children. :(
