It's Over...

Kermit & Miss Piggy in happier times.

First Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards, now another showbiz 'power couple' have announced their conscious uncoupling... Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

We feel we need to say a few words after our favourite puppet pig and frog have announced that they are no longer in a relationship.

The announcement that came via Facebook said the decision had been difficult and had followed 'thoughtful consideration'. Over the decades we have witnessed 'The Muppets' stars Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy fight and make up in episodes and movies, but we never thought they’d officially announced their separation…

The pair wrote on Facebook: "After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship.

And added, "Our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al.”

Ouch!

The former showbiz pair seem to be surprisingly amicable following the split, but whilst Piggy was coy, Kermit was keen to make it clear that he was not the one who initiated the decision to cut the strings.

He said in a separate statement; "It's an interesting thing that happens sometimes - you're with someone for years, and you suddenly discover that you have gone in two different directions.”

News of the shocking split comes just weeks before the debut of the new Muppets sitcom… so hopefully things won't be too tense on set!

Miss Piggy first announced the pair were engaged to be 1979, and although they never technically married, like Ross & Rachel, Posh & Becks, Super Man & Lois Lane before them, we simply can’t imagine one without the other.  

We don’t think this will be the last we hear on the matter… but in the meantime we wish them all the happiness in the world.
