Food Network faves The Neelys file for divorce….
Eyebrows were raised last year after the Neelys closed their successful Memphis BBQ restaurant chain to 'pursue other projects' and now fans are downright shocked after Gina Neely filed for divorce from husband Pat after 20 years of marriage.
The Neelys confirmed the news yesterday via this joint statement
"Today we announce that we are ending our marriage of 20 years for irreconcilable differences. This was a tough decision, but we believe it is the best decision for us. As parents of two beautiful adult daughters that we love dearly, we will continue to be involved in each other's lives as parents and friends. Together we have built a strong brand as The Neely's . Moving forward our focus will be on our individual brands and we are optimistic about our respective futures. We ask for your prayers as we go through this transition and honor our request for privacy at this time."
