The love birds first met on April 2011 and got engaged on September 3, 2012.

“It is with deep regret that I share that Michelle’s and my marriage is coming to an end. This is a sad and difficult turn of events for our family. I love Michelle, and wish her the very best as her life takes her in a new direction.”

The couple has no children between them.
After retiring from the game in 2006, the two times Olympic medal winner Kwan turned to politics.
She also campaigned for her husband while he was running for governor in the Rhode Island.
After her retirement, she went on to complete her Master degree and joined the State Departments while under the secretary Hillary Clinton and during the 2016 Presidential election she became Surrogate outreach coordinator for Hillary.
The couple has taken this decision by their own accordance and they must have thought this through before taking the big of a decision.
Michelle and Clay's Future
Well, Michelle is currently motivating women all across the country to live up to their dreams and do what they feel is right.
