Karenna Gore and Drew Schiff: Separated

June is not a good month for marriage if your last name is Gore. One week after news of an Al and Tipper Gore divorce shocked the political world, we’ve now learned that one of their children’s marriage is on the rocks. Oldest daughter Karenna Gore Schiff has split from her husband of 12 years, Drew Schiff. However, a close family source says “they are not divorced.” Karenna, 36, and Drew, 44, “have been separated for a couple of months and in marriage counseling. It’s amicable and they are in therapy together.” Karenna Gore married Drew Schiff in the late 1990s . The couple, who live in New York City, have three children: Wyatt, 10, Anna, 8, and Oscar, 3. Drew Schiff works for a biotech investment company. Although Karenna Gore is working on a documentary project, she is primarily “being a mom,” the Schiff family friend tells the New York Daily News . Karenna is looking to her parents for support in these times. “Both Al and Tipper have been to New York to help Karenna with the kids since her separation,” said the family friend. “Like all families, they rally.” Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for the former vice president, told People that “Neither the Gores nor the Schiffs plan to comment” on the subject.

The environmental advocate and his spouse have announced, via an e-mail to friends, that they are separating. Their 40th anniversary was just last month. “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate ,” stated the e-mail, first obtained by Politico.com. “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.” The Gores’ brief, joint statement concluded: “We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.” Married since May 1970, Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up . Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, The Associated Press reports, but declined to elaborate on the matter. Al Gore became the highest-profile advocate for environmental and climate change issues since losing the 2000 Presidential election by a razor-thin margin. Tipper Gore is known for advocacy on mental health issues, and for an active role in the Parents Music Resource Center during her husband’s time in office. Al, 61, and Tipper, 60, have four grown children: Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Al Gore III . We wish the spouses and their kids the best in this tough time.
