“We have mutually decided to end our marriage. We’ll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed,” Judd and Franchitti said in a statement to the magazine.

Judd, 44, and Franchitti, 39, were engaged for about two years before marrying in Scotland in 2001.

Judd celebrated with Franchitti as he won the Indy 500 last year. Franchitti has raced in the NASCAR and IndyCar series and has won the Indy 500 three times.

Judd is an avid fan of Kentucky basketball. She reportedly is exploring the possibility of running for the Senate.
