SEATTLE (AP) — Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing, ending a 25-year marriage that played a role in the creation of an e-commerce company that made Bezos the world's wealthiest person.

The decision to divorce comes after a trial separation, according to a statement posted Wednesday on Bezos' Twitter account. Both Bezoses signed the announcement, which ended with a vow to remain "cherished friends."
