Sarah made a similar remark, adding that after “careful consideration,” they chose to break up. Sarah and Andy have 2 kids they share together, and even though they’ve decided to divorce, they will work toward an amicable co-parenting relationship.
The 52-year-old actor and 50-year-old actress first hooked up back in 1991 and went on to get married three years later in 1994. They have one daughter, Mercy, 12, as well as one son, William, 18.

Andy is, perhaps, the most famous out of the two, starring primarily on big-name television shows such as The Late Show, Conan, as well as Conan on TBS. Moreover, he is known for his voice acting in the immensely popular Madagascar franchise.
Furthermore, his filmography and history on television extend back to 1993 with his role in The Positively True Adventures Of The Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom. That very same year, he began his working relationship with Conan on his show, Late Night With Conan O’Brien. He has written with him on 1,247 episodes.
In recent months, Andy, as well as his estranged wife, have joined the fight with the Writer’s Guild Of America against the Association Of Talent Agents for their “unfair packaging services.”
Thus far, Andy and his wife have received an outpouring of support among their cohorts in the entertainment industry as well as from their fans on Twitter and Instagram. One fan wrote, “it’s such a tragedy, but I hope it’s for the better!”
