King of Queens star Leah Remini announced her divorce from Angelo Pagn Thursday in a joint Instagram note brimming with uncertainty, positivity and sadness.

The two, whose family was featured on the TLC reality show Its All Relative (2014-15), clearly invested time to break the news to the public. Remini and Pagn explained they wanted to be transparent for fans who watched them on TV.

Well, here we are. After 28 years together and 21 years of marriage, we have decided to file for divorce, they wrote. This decision came after a lot of thought and care, and as hard as divorce is, we are approaching this with a positive outlook because we know its whats best for us.

Yes, were sad, and weve got some figuring out to do as we continue to move forward into our new normal together still in many ways, and apart in some new ones, they continued.
