NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage.

According to an e-mailed statement obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, the Gores said it was "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.

Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush. He has since campaigned worldwide to draw attention to climate change, which in 2007 led to a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

Tipper Gore is known for her advocacy on mental health issues. She became interested partly because her mother suffered from depression.

The Gores have four adult children.

Maybe you assume incorrectly......another man perhaps. (Tipper not AlGore)

Perhaps when he convinced her that we are all going to die from global warming, she told herself she needs to have a little fun before the end comes.

It is sad...They like many of the wealthy live separate lives. But continue to be “married”....Will have to wait until the National Enquirere comes out with the “true” story...Usual not much reason to divide the assets and legally go seperate ways.

I guess even Tipper got sick of the Global Warming CRAP spewing out of his mouth!

I am very surprised. I agree that AlGore is a buffoon, but I thought he and Tipper had a solid marriage. (Let's put it this way: ten years ago, who would have thought the Gores would split, but the Clintons would stay together?)

Tipper is a mental health advocate? So that’s it! She finally saw through him!

How can she divorce a hero who invented the Internet, earned a Nobel Peace Prize, discovered that “the interior of the earth is extremely hot - several million degrees”, and may stop climate change in its tracks? I thought that the two of them would last forever, unlike the characters in Erich Segal’s “Love Story”.

I hope Tipper found a real man.

God knows she’s not been married to one for 40 years...lol.

Actually, I hope she’s just tired of him and socks it to him on the money front.

Ill-gotten gains, lying scumbag idiot.

At least the Gores had the decency to separate and not live a lie, unlike Bill and Hillary. Question I’d most like to hear Bubba answer: when is the last time you and Hillary slept in the same bed, together? I’m guessing it was sometime around 1992.

It is sad.
My husband and I have been together for 38 years next month and as much as he aggravates me sometimes in my wildest imagination I could not fathom my life without him.
However, we still laugh together about the stupidest things. He still thinks I am funny, I still think he is fine and gentle soul. The ending of any marriage is sad but after so long......

Tipper will try to separate from him...but his gravitational pull will keep pulling her back in.
