The ex-husband of Mary Kay Letourneau issued a statement after her student-turned-husband Vili Fualaau filed for separation last month. Mary Kay notoriously cheated on her husband, whom she shared four children with, to have a fling with a 12-year-old sixth grader when she was 34 years old.

Steven filed for divorce in 1999, three years after the forbidden affair started. They had been married for 15 years. Steven was granted custody of all four children by the courts.

Mary Kay admitted to two counts of child rape. She served her full sentence, seven-and-a-half years behind bars.

Letourneau’s oldest four children did not comment on her split from their step-father, but Steven issued an exclusive statement to People Magazine. “I’ve moved on,” he told the magazine Thursday, “and I have nothing to say.”

He remarried and had more children, just like Mary Kay. Now he’s lives in Alaska and rarely gives interviews about his ex-wife.

The former teacher did not issue a statement about her split from Fualaau, however, he claimed to still be in love with Mary Kay. The breakup was only a business move.

“It’s not necessarily what you think,” Fualaau, now 33, told Radar Online in an exclusive interview last month. “Everything is fine between us.”

“All the rumors that you hear between us. It’s fine,” he said. “Of course [we are still in love]. A piece of paper doesn’t break someone’s feelings!”

Fualaau aspires to start a “Cigaweed” business to he could sell marijuana cigarettes, but he can’t do that with Mary Kay as his wife since she’s a convicted felon.

“When you want to get licensed, they do background checks on both parties,” Fualaau told Radar Online. “If I decide to be a part of it I have to be licensed and I have to be vetted and so does a spouse. She has a past. She has a history.”

While Fualaau claimed the split was only for financial gain, an insider said there were some problems.

“He said she nagged a lot. She always wanted him to man up and take responsibility,” an insider told People Magazine in an exclusive interview Wednesday. “He complained about her sometimes, but all guys complain about their wives.”

Letourneau helped around the house the most. “She handled everything — like the money, the chores, all of it,” the anonymous person explained.

“[Vili] said that she would be pissed off that he wasn’t doing as much around the house as she was,” the source dished. “She was making the money, and he was trying to get his career as a DJ to take off, so he would spend a lot of time working on that.”

But they didn’t always have problems. “He complained like guys complain about their wives, but he loved her,” the insider said. “They usually got along. He didn’t complain when she’d show up to the clubs. He seemed happy to see her.”
