"With dear love for each other and our family, as parents first and foremost, we kindly ask our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time," the 40-year-old actor added. "With our sincere love, Greg & Touriya."
Vaughan stars as the adult version of Eric Brady on "Days," but the actor is best known for his role as Lucky Spencer on "General Hospital" from 2003 to 2009. While his fame continues to grow, "Days" is now one of the longest-running scripted television series in the world. Over its nearly 50 years on the air, the soap opera has accumulated a strong fan following that continues to grow today, with many tuning in to the show which airs almost every week day.
Meanwhile, Vaughan is not the only Hollywood celebrity to end his marriage recently. Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband of over a decade, Chris Martin, announced their "conscious uncoupling" earlier this month. Actor Orlando Bloom and model Miranda Kerr have also gone their separate ways in an amicable divorce this year. Both aforementioned couples remain dedicated to their respective children.
"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family," a rep for Kerr and Bloom said in a statement at the time of the split.
