Aisha Tyler is ready to talk about her divorce! She married attorney Jeff Tietjens in 1994 and after 20 long years they are separating. She spoke in 'The Talk' episode on Monday. She was tearing up when praising a man she will always love.

"He's the person who has influenced me and cared for me the most. In fact, he cared for me even longer than my parents have cared for me and it's very hard when you love someone very much to also start to realize that maybe you want different things for your lives," she explained. "That's a very difficult realization to come to and you don't want to accept it and you don't want to believe it."

Though, they were separated since January 215, she protected her husband by not speaking publicaly. "He didn't choose this life, I chose this life. It's very unfair to drag someone into this life that doesn't want any part of it. The only reason they're here is because they fell in love with someone in the business," she explained to her tearful co-hosts including Sheryl Underwood and Sara Gilbert. "He's a very private person. He's a very kind-hearted person and I didn't want to expose him to the kind of stuff I knew was going to come when this happened."

She also said that after loving for 25 years and now trying to let each other go.

E! reported: "I was with this extraordinary person. I had this extraordinary love affair for 25 years of my life and that is how I feel. I think we did it exactly right," she shared after receiving a standing ovation from the audience. "We loved each other passionately and lived life fully and we're trying to let each other go in the kindest way we possibly can and even though we're separating, all I want for him is joy and fulfillment and whatever he chooses to do in his life next and whatever I can do to help him do, that I want to do that."

"He's a wonderful person. He's been my best friend for always my entire life. I'll always love him. I want to say to people out there that are speculating about it, that's what I'm going to say about the relationship and the rest of it is none of your damn business," she said.

We wish you both good luck ahead.
