Jayam Ravi Confirms Divorce from Aarti Ravi After 15 Years: A Heartfelt Announcement

In a surprising turn of events, popular Tamil actor Jayam Ravi has confirmed his divorce from his wife, Aarti Ravi, after 15 years of marriage. The couple, who have two sons together, had been the subject of much speculation in recent months, and Ravi’s announcement on social media has now confirmed the split.

Jayam Ravi’s Emotional Announcement

Jayam Ravi took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the difficult news with his followers. He posted two notes, one in English and one in Tamil, expressing the deep thought and consideration that went into the decision. “After much thought and discussions, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made out of haste and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved,” Ravi wrote.

The actor also asked for privacy during this challenging time, stressing that the public should refrain from making assumptions or spreading rumors. “I hereby kindly request all of you to respect our privacy as well as that of our family members during this difficult time,” he added.

Early Signs of Trouble

Rumors of the couple’s troubles began circulating in June, shortly after their 15th wedding anniversary on June 4th. Fans noticed that Aarti had deleted all photos of Ravi from her Instagram account, sparking speculation about the state of their marriage. Although Aarti later shared a post celebrating Ravi’s debut film Jayam, the rumors persisted until Ravi’s recent confirmation.

Aarti Ravi, the daughter of prominent television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, has largely stayed out of the spotlight, making the couple’s separation all the more surprising. The couple, who married in 2009, has generally maintained a private relationship, rarely making public appearances together.

Jayam Ravi’s Current Projects

Even amidst personal challenges, Jayam Ravi remains focused on his acting career. He recently starred in Ponniyin Selvan: II, and his upcoming projects include Brother and Kadhalika Neramillai. Ravi concluded his message by expressing gratitude to his fans for their support throughout his career, reaffirming his commitment to bringing “joy and entertainment” to them.

As fans come to terms with the news, they are showing support for both Jayam and Aarti, respecting the actor’s request for privacy as the family navigates this difficult transition.
