Sai De Silva has addressed the public for the first time following the recent divorce filing by her husband, David Craig, two days ago.
The 45-year-old star of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” who has been married to Craig for nearly a decade, took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to share her thoughts.
“I am truly grateful for the kindness, grace, and support so many of you have shown me,” she expressed in her message. “Your messages have overwhelmed me, and they mean more than you can imagine.”
De Silva and Craig are parents to two children: their 14-year-old daughter, London, and their 8-year-old son, Rio.
In her statement, she added, “My heart is devoted to my children, and my priority is to provide them with as much stability and love as possible during this time.”
Craig submitted the legal filing in New York City on Thursday morning, according to court records reviewed by the Daily Mail.

De Silva added in her statement, ‘Living life publicly isn’t always easy, but it’s a reminder that we should all lead with compassion.
‘You never really know what someone is navigating behind the scenes.’
‘It was necessary to file,’ Craig’s lawyer Nancy Chemtob exclusively told the Daily Mail.Â
She withheld any specifics on the filing, noting it’s too early to get into the details.
De Silva has been a cast member on the Bravo series since the show was rebooted in 2022, first appearing on season 14 in 2023.
Production for season 16 is currently underway, meaning the star’s split will unfold on the show, which is expected to premiere later this year or in early 2027.
In addition to De Silva, the show will feature returning cast members Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank, plus newcomers Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond and Daisy Toye.
Carole Radziwill will also appear in a ‘friend of’ role.

De Silva and Craig met in 2009, while the TV personality was on a vacation in Costa Rica and he was there for work.
They welcomed their two kids before tying the knot in June 2017.
Craig is from Canada while De Silva is a New York City native.
As the mom of two’s career keeps her in the public eye, her now-estranged husband has always opted to stay out of the spotlight.
She once wrote on her blog, Scout the City, ‘He’s my perfect guy who loves his privacy and I respect that. He’s supportive, encouraging and always by our side.Â
‘I admit, he’s a terrible Instagram husband but other than that we’re thick as thieves.’
