Billy Bush and wife separate after 20 years of marriage 'to evaluate their life together'

— -- TV personality Billy Bush and his wife, Sydney Davis, have decided to separate after two decades together.

"After almost 20 years of marriage, they have separated for the moment to evaluate their life together. They love each other and their children deeply and are committed to a bright future," his rep told ABC News.

Bush, the former "Access Hollywood" and "Today Show" host, married Davis in 1998 and the two are parents to three daughters: Josephine, Mary and Lillie.

The 45-year-old journalist made headlines last year after a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape of Bush and President Trump discussing women surfaced before the presidential election. Trump later called the conversation "locker room banter."

In the leaked tape, Trump bragged about his ability to grab and kiss women because he's "a star."

After the leak of the tape, Bush was eventually fired from "Today." He apologized on social media for his part in the vulgar conversation and spoke to ABC News this year about the incident.

"I understand people's reaction. I agree. I also felt that way," he said.
