According to a report published on People.com, Trebunskaya and Roberts have agreed to end their marriage of nine years. The soon-to-be-former spouses released a joint statement on Wednesday, October 17:

"We have enjoyed more than a decade of a very loving, loyal and happy relationship, but after much soul searching, we have decided to end our marriage. We are committed to staying friends and dance partners. We have immense respect for each other as people and performers."

The dancing couple have been professional partners since 2004 and have appeared as professionals on Dancing with the Stars since the first season of that show. Initially, Anna performed only during filler dances on DWTS: The Results Show, but she got her first celebrity partner, Jerry Rice, in season 2. She and Rice managed to place second in the competition, beaten by Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke.

Trebunskaya returned for seasons 5 and 6 of the show, partnering with Albert Reed and Steve Guttenberg, respectively. After a few seasons away, Anna Trebunskaya returned for season 9 (with Chuck Liddell) and has been a pro-dancer on Dancing with the Stars ever since.

Jonathan Roberts has had a limited role on Dancing with the Stars than his wife in recent years, but he was far more prominent in the early seasons. Competing in seasons 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9, Roberts' best DWTS finish came in season 5. He and Marie Osmond placed 3rd that season.

Anna Trebunskaya may have wanted to erase the sting of her season 2 defeat by partnering with that season's victor during the Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars season. Instead, the couple fell to the double elimination in week 3 of the competition. Another former DWTS champion, Helio Castroneves, left that week as well.

There has not yet been any comment from Dancing with the Stars about the couple's divorce.
