After almost twenty years of togetherness, the couple suddenly decided to part ways. But they chose not to officially divorce but just be legally separate.

For this, Michael Fishman answered that he opted for separation  so that his wife Jennifer would be on his health insurance plan for as long as possible.

That was really thoughtful indeed! Fishman wanted his partner of twenty years to have a healthy life and be able to get her health checked without having to worry or initiate another insurance plan by her own.

He had also once revealed in an interview that his wife Jenny had a rare kidney disease when their children were little. So, the whole family had worked together to create and maintain a healthy environment in the house.
