Prior to her announcement, Berman was conspicuously absent from Zoe’s social media activity, prompting some followers to ask Zoe about Berman’s whereabouts.

Berman was featured for the last time on Zoe’s profile for Father’s Day this year. She wrote a thoughtful message to Berman, calling him, “One of the best to ever do it. Our boys are the luckiest and we are so thankful for you,” she wrote.

Zoe told PEOPLE back in April 2021 that she and Berman live their “separate” lives apart from each other so they are not constantly dependent on each other.

“The idea is that you are dependent but at the same time independent. There is the life that you share and there is the life that is yours,” she explained. “It really takes the pressure off the other person, because if you are solely dependent on the other person for your happiness and your goals, it can’t really work.”

Berman agreed, adding, “I always find that the best relationships are the ones where you’re really there for the other person and you’re really trying to help them achieve their goals. At the end of the day, it’s the other person’s happiness that you have, right?”
