Just when we thought the world of romance couldn't look more bleak with the announcement of Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards' split, Kermit the Frog hits us with the shock of our lives. Yesterday the leader of the Muppets announced that he and his wife Miss Piggy were seeking a divorce. Kermit announced the news at the Television Critics Association summer press tour yesterday before taking to Twitter to expand on the news. It was later revealed that Kermit was in a relationship with a new pig named Denise! While the pair will continue to work together on their ABC show and in motion pictures, it remains to be seen how they will cope with the split in what was already quite a fiery relationship! Oh what a tangled web love weaves...

Here is the official statement from @RealMissPiggy and myself regarding our relationship: pic.twitter.com/uHCSsokqWR
