The two are parents to daughter Daniella, 19, and son Jack, 15. Darius also has a daughter Carolyn, 25, from a previous relationship. As mentioned previously in his Instagram post, their top priority is their family and ensuring the best for their kids. The couple met back in 1998 and got hitched in 2000. As expected, the post was met with a lot of love and positive vibes for the couple as they navigate a split together.

“Prayers for strength and peace for both of you and your sweet family. ❤️” someone comments. Another says, “❤️? Sending love and kind energy to you both.” A third person writes, “Such a bold, courageous step. Best wishes for the entire family.” Wishing the best for the Ruckers with the hope that they can navigate through this difficult time successfully.
