Paramore's Hayley Williams splits from husband Chad Gilbert

Paramore's Hayley Williams and her rocker husband Chad Gilbert have called it quits, after 16 months of marriage.

They announced the news of their separation in an Instagram post Saturday on Williams' account.

"The two of us have been together for the better part of 10 years. We've grown up together and we've been beside each other through a lot of goodness and a lot of challenges. There is a challenge to trying to understand your own heart in the context of a relationship. and there is goodness in considering another heart, even in spite of your own," the couple said.

In the note posted on Instagram, the duo said that "marriage is not for the faint of heartt," while adding, "Love is an absolute risk. We want to publicly state - plainly, and only this time - that we are splitting up. We also feel it's important to state that we are going to be okay and in fact, we remain close friends who are good in each other's eyes. That's something we are deeply thankful for. Even though situations like these can feel defeating. We will continue to encourage and support each other personally and professionally."

Williams and Gilbert got engaged in December 2014 after dating for several years and got married in February 2016 at the Franklin Theater in Nashville.
