Sai De Silva has broken her silence two days after her husband David Craig filed for divorce.
The 45-year-old Real Housewives of New York City star, who has been married to Craig for nine years, posted a statement via Instagram Stories on Saturday.
‘Thank you for the kindness, grace, and support so many of you have shown me. I’m overwhelmed by all your messages and it truly means more than you know,’ Sai De Silva began.
The influencer and her husband share daughter London, 14, and son Rio, eight.
Her note continued, ‘My heart is with my children, and my focus is on giving them as much stability and love as possible.’
Craig submitted the legal filing in New York City on Thursday morning, according to court records.
Sai De Silva added in her statement, ‘Living life publicly isn’t always easy, but it’s a reminder that we should all lead with compassion.
‘You never really know what someone is navigating behind the scenes.’
‘It was necessary to file,’ Craig’s lawyer Nancy Chemtob exclusively told the Daily Mail.
She withheld any specifics on the filing, noting it’s too early to get into the details.
Sai De Silva has been a cast member on the Bravo series since the show was rebooted in 2022, first appearing on season 14 in 2023.
Production for season 16 is currently underway, meaning the star’s split will unfold on the show, which is expected to premiere later this year or in early 2027.
In addition to Sai De Silva, the show will feature returning cast members Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank, plus newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond and Daisy Toye.
Carole Radziwill will also appear in a ‘friend of’ role.
De Silva and Craig met in 2009, while the TV personality was on a vacation in Costa Rica and he was there for work.
They welcomed their two kids before tying the knot in June 2017.
Craig is from Canada while De Silva is a New York City native.
As the mom of two’s career keeps her in the public eye, her now-estranged husband has always opted to stay out of the spotlight.
She once wrote on her blog, Scout the City, ‘He’s my perfect guy who loves his privacy and I respect that. He’s supportive, encouraging and always by our side.
‘I admit, he’s a terrible Instagram husband but other than that we’re thick as thieves.’
