Kermit The Frog, Miss Piggy Announce Blockbuster Break-Up

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A power couple in the world of Jim Henson's blockbuster hit "The Muppets" announced on Tuesday that they are calling it quits.

Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy explained they are splitting up in an amicable way.

"After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship," according to former couple. "We will continue to work together on television, however, our personal lives are now distinct and separate. We will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al."

Both Miss Piggy and Kermit posted their full statement to Twitter.

Their announcement comes just weeks before the return of Henson's "The Muppets" to network television.
