Sai De Silva, known for her role on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” is facing a major personal change as her husband, David Craig, has initiated divorce proceedings after nearly nine years of marriage.
According to court documents accessed by Page Six, Craig officially filed for divorce in New York City on Thursday morning.
The couple, who have been together for almost a decade, are parents to two children: their 14-year-old daughter, London, and their 8-year-old son, Rio.
Page Six has sought comments from De Silva’s representative regarding the divorce filing.
The unfolding of the couple’s separation is expected to feature in the upcoming Season 16 of “RHONY,” which is currently in production.
The cast includes De Silva, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond and Daisy Toye, while Carole Radziwill is back as a friend.
De Silva, 45, and Craig tied the knot in a private ceremony in June 2017.
Craig prefers to stay out of the public eye, despite De Silva being an influencer and a cast member on “RHONY” since the show was rebooted in 2022.
“He likes his privacy,” De Silva previously said in a 2023 Bravo blog post. “In a world where we share everything, it’s nice to have something that is private in my life.”
She added of Craig, “He is very involved when it comes to his family and I think he should win an award for father of the year!”
In a past post on her blog Scout The City, De Silva wrote, “We live in a world filled with over sharing and documenting our every move that I think it’s healthy to keep some things private. No, he’s not a celebrity or a famous athlete like some of you have asked.”
She also called Craig her “perfect guy” who is always “supportive” and “encouraging” to her and their kids.
“I admit, he’s a terrible Instagram husband,” she added, “but other than that we’re thick as thieves.”
De Silva previously told People she found it “extremely difficult” to open up about her personal life when she joined “RHONY.”
“To be vulnerable and share my feelings is just something that I don’t really do,” she explained.
“I don’t know if it’s because it has so much to do with me being a New Yorker, you just have a very tough exterior so you can make it here. I’m glad it’s over but I have to keep talking about it.”
