Criss Angel and his wife Shaunyl Benson have split after a 13-year relationship.

The couple, who previously divorced and then remarried, each went to their social media pages on Friday to vent about their relationship issues.

Angel, a magician who is a major act in Las Vegas, wrote a long note to his fans about a person in his life who was a ‘narcissist.’

‘Today I made the decision to unfollow a narcissist – an individual who tore apart a happy family in their pursuit of someone else,’ the 57-year-old wrote, displaying the message in white text against a black background.

‘Please refrain from supporting someone who has caused harm to innocent children and everyone involved. I am truly grateful for your love and support during this challenging period. With loyalty, Xcriss,’ he added.

Additionally, he updated his Instagram bio to reflect his relationship status, now stating he is ‘Single’: ‘Single Father of 3 Beautiful Kids❤️.’ He has stopped following his wife on the social media platform.

Daily Mail has reached out to Angel’s rep but did not immediately hear back.

Johnny battled B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia on and off for years but has been cancer-free since January 2022. 

The illusionist told Extra that the ‘hardest part’ of his son’s cancer journey was the ‘hell’ the child went through while battling it. ‘Seeing my kid, you know, going through hell. Not understanding what was going on,’ said Criss.

The couple wed in February 2015 after three years of dating, but reportedly divorced shortly after. In 2023, the illusionist proposed to her again. 

And Benson also made her own post. While in a black tank top and cap she spoke up in a video. Without naming names, she said ‘someone is trying to defame’ her and revealed she had ended a ’13-year relationship.’

She also shared Angel’s post as she hit back at cheating claims. 

And she did admit that she ‘sent a message to a rock star’ when she felt lonely but he did not answer back.

For the past two months she has taken to Instagram to talk about speaking her ‘truth’ and how she has been in pain.

In September she wrote, ‘Let’s talk LIES and how it’s actually a form of black magic. I know that’s a wild term but if you’re telling lies, you’re actually trying to manipulate somebody else’s reality… ✨.’

'Today I stopped following a narcissist ¿ somebody who destroyed a beautiful family in pursuit of another man,' the 57-year-old wrote in white over a black background. 'Please Do NOT support someone who has damaged the lives of beautiful children and everyone around them. Thank you all for your love and support during this very difficult time. Loyally yours, Xcriss'

They seemed happy earlier this year in a vacation photo shared to Instagram

She also posted, ‘When they come to burn you down but they forget that you come doused in gasoline. 

‘I dare you to light the match, because the fire will only help me rise. 

‘That’s the funny thing that people forget about money.. it’s only powerful in the worldly realm.’ 

The influencer finished with, ‘But like Jesus said, be in the world not of it.’ 

Angel, who is friends with Tommy Lee and Marc Anthony, has had a magic show in Las Vegas for decades.

The Long Island, New York native who is of Greek origin is often referred to as one of the world’s most successful illusionists.
