Canadian country music star Brett Kissel has announced that he and his wife Cecilia have quietly separated after nearly 15 years of marriage.

 

The couple shared the update publicly, confirming they have been separated for approximately a year and a half.

 

A Joint Statement Focused on Family

In a joint message, Brett and Cecilia said the decision was made with care, clarity, and mutual respect.

 

They shared that they are all doing well and are moving forward into this next chapter with optimism, love, and respect for one another. The couple also emphasized their commitment to continuing to co-parent their four children and maintaining a strong, supportive relationship.

 

They asked for kindness and understanding from the public and requested privacy for their family moving forward.

 

A Lakeland Love Story

 

Both Brett and Cecilia are from the Lakeland area. They met locally just out of high school, and their relationship has long been part of Brett’s public story as his career grew from small-town Alberta roots to national and international stages.

 

Moving Forward

 

While the announcement marks a significant personal change, the message itself was calm, grounded, and focused on family. Brett and Cecilia closed by thanking supporters for their continued kindness and understanding as they move ahead.
