Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have decided to go their separate ways after 40 years of marriage, news reports said Tuesday.

The Gores’ informed friends of the separation through e-mail, according to the Associated Press. In their message, they called the break-up a “mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful, consideration.”

Once one of Washington’s most celebrated couples, Al and Tipper Gore have not been in the public eye as much as a twosome since the then-vice president’s narrow defeat to George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential campaign.

Al Gore declined to run for president again in 2004, but emerged as a leading spokesman in the environmental movement, especially on climate change. He won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar in 2007 for the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” He is also a co-founder with Joel Hyatt of the cable network Current TV.
