“We are grateful for 19 years together and our precious daughter. We will remain good friends,” the couple announced in two separate Instagram posts.
Ms. Marin and Mr. Raikkonen have a 5-year-old daughter together. The two married in 2020, when Ms. Marin became Finland's prime minister and was dealing with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We have experienced youth together, grown up together and become parents to our beloved daughter,” Ms. Marin wrote on Instagram after her wedding to Mr. Raikkonen in August 2020.
According to Ms. Marin, after the divorce, the two and their daughter will "continue to spend time together as a family."
Marin's Social Democratic Party suffered a defeat in the April 2023 election. They won only 43 seats in the Finnish Parliament , behind the conservative National Coalition and the populist, anti-immigration Finns Party.
Ms Marin's government has officially resigned but will remain in power while waiting for a new cabinet to be formed. The National Coalition and the Finns Party are negotiating to form a government, according to AFP.
Ms Marin is seen by supporters around the world as a model of a young, progressive leader. However, the prime minister has also faced criticism after videos of her partying were released. Conservatives also say her government has been too generous with public spending, CNN reported.
