"It is with great sadness that I announce that my husband and I are no longer together," he wrote. "My heart hurts, and I wish him well."

The couple was married on Dec. 30, 2011 in an intimate courthouse wedding. 

"My husband was actually in the closet until about a month before we were married," Weir revealed to Access Hollywood in February 2014. "He comes from a very strict and judgmental world."

And in the same interview, Weir opened up about the struggles of marriage. 

"Being married is an adjustment, and I'm such an OCD, solitary, confined person that it was very hard to open my life and my home and in some ways my closet to somebody else," he continued. "We both are constantly fighting to wear the pants in the relationship."
