Kristin Cavallari posted on Instagram Sunday to share the sad news that she and husband Jay Cutler have decided to divorce. The two have been together for nearly a decade and share three kids together—Camden Jack Cutler (7), Jaxon Wyatt Cutler (5) and Saylor James Cutler (4).

“With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce,” the reality TV personality’s lengthy caption began, alongside an image of her and the retired NFL star. “We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of,” her statement continued. “This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”

The “Hunger Games” story will continue as author Suzann Collins plans to release a prequel book — which a movie will be based on —-titled “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”  The book is scheduled for release on May 19 and will explores the origin of the series’ dystopian society.

“Lionsgate has always been the cinematic home of ‘The Hunger Games,’ and I’m delighted to be returning to them with this new book,” Collins said in a statement.  For the new movie, Collins will serve as executive producer. Francis Lawrence returns as director after making the three previous “Hunger Games” movies. Nina Jacobson will again produce, along with Brad Simpson.  Collins’ series — including “The Hunger Games,” “Catching Fire” and “Mockingjay” — has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and is the basis for four Lionsgate movies that earned nearly $3 billion and starred Jennifer Lawrence as the heroine Katniss Everdeen.

The new film will take place in Collins’ fictional Panem and center on 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, the future president, played in the earlier movies by Donald Sutherland.
