It’s unclear why the pair decided to split, but RadarOnline.com readers know they have been living apart for some time.

Chrissy told Us Weekly in 2018 that Vilailuck lives with her and husband John Legend, while Ron lives in his own house, 10 minutes away.

“He comes by every day and they’re married,” the model said. “It just works for them. It’s a good family life. We’re all very close, very tight-knit.”

As fans know, Chrissy often posts about her mother on Instagram. Vilailuck, whom Chrissy jokingly calls her “assistant,” is regularly seen cooking for her daughter, son-in-law and small grandchildren, Luna, 3, and Miles, 1.

Ron has also made various appearances on Chrissy’s social media. In December 2018, the Bring the Funny host posted an Instagram photo of her dad in a tattoo shop, showing off his new ink. “MY DAD GOT A TATTOO OF ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY,” Chrissy wrote.
