Singer Miguel and model/actress Nazanin Mandi have called it quits after 17 years together.
“After 17 years together, Miguel and Nazanin Mandi have decided to separate and have been for some time now,” a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE exclusively. “The couple both wish each other well.”
Miguel and Nazanin dated for 10 years prior to getting engaged in 2016 and then married in November 2018 at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley, California.
Earlier this year, Nazanin spoke to PEOPLE about how the pair managed to keep their romantic spark alive through months of COVID quarantine.
“We were used to being around each other a lot, but then we were also used to traveling a lot,” she said. “So keeping the spark alive was definitely something we had to stay on — because when you’re in different cities, it’s automatic to feel excitement [when you see each other again].”
“But being home [together] all the time, it’s like, ‘Okay, we have to find new things to watch, and to do and to read,'” she continued. “It was a lot, but overall, we did great. I have no complaints, [and] am grateful for everything.”
