Tamil actor Jayam Ravi has officially announced his separation from his wife, Aarti Ravi, after 15 years of marriage. The couple, who have two sons, had faced months of speculation regarding their split, which the actor addressed on social media. In a heartfelt note posted on X (formerly Twitter), Ravi expressed that the decision to divorce was a deeply personal one made after much thought and discussion, stressing that it was in the best interest of all involved.
Ravi requested privacy during this difficult time, asking the public to refrain from making assumptions, spreading rumors, or engaging in speculation about their relationship. He expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support throughout his career and emphasized that his priority remains bringing joy and entertainment to people. Despite the shock of the news, given the couple’s generally private nature since their marriage in 2009, fans have expressed their support.
Aarti Ravi, too, seemed to address the situation by sharing a picture commemorating her husband’s debut film, Jayam, which some have interpreted as a response to the ongoing rumors. Professionally, Jayam Ravi has had a successful year with appearances in films like Ponniyin Selvan: II, Iraivan, and Siren and he has more projects lined up, including Brother and Kadhalika Neramillai.
Grateful for your love and understanding.
