There had been rumors about the couple’s divorce for some time. However, neither Simona nor Mindaugas wanted to open up about it until now.

However, on the evening of Sunday, July 12, S. Lipnė broke the silence. The woman posted a letter about the divorce on her Instagram account.
“I have been silent for a long time. But I feel the time has come.
This post is not to stir up discussions or look for blame. I just no longer want assumptions and guesses. It just happened. This is a part of my life that I am going through now. I do not blame, I respect and let go. And what I share is only what is happening inside me.
I also sincerely ask to respect my and my children’s privacy,” S. Lipnė began the post.
Simona agreed to share the letter with the readers of the Žmonės.lt portal as well.
“I have been silent for a long time. Not because I had nothing to say. But because when a family falls apart, you first try to save it, not talk about it or seek comfort. But it just happens and you cannot hide it.
Understand, no one creates a family to leave it one day. To have it fall apart. To have what you dreamed of, raised, nurtured, and tried to preserve at any cost, collapse…
Just as no one dreams of two homes for their children. Nor of holidays according to a schedule and sharing weeks. Of moments you will never get back because you simply won’t always be there when you want to be constantly…
So when a woman decides to leave, it is usually not a one-day decision. It is usually something that has been going on for years. But the courage was missing. The courage for change.
It is a decision born after so much… After hope that it would be better. After hundreds of attempts to communicate. After psychologists, silent retreats, books, correspondence, letters, despair… After unheard pleas. After disappointments, tears, and silently carried pain that no one saw.
For some reason, people usually only see and want to see the divorce. Only the fact itself. But they do not understand that divorce is the consequence of what was…
They do not see all the years before it. They do not see how many times the choice was made to stay for the children. For the family. For the hope that tomorrow will be different. That simply… This will pass and it will be better…
Divorce was never my plan. Nor probably any woman’s who once lovingly built her family and believed it would last a lifetime.
Sometimes the greatest love for children is not a marriage preserved at any cost. Sometimes we just have to choose to be apart to be better for them – for our children.
Sometimes the greatest love is to raise them in a home with more peace than fear, more respect than silence… And more love than pain. Because children deserve not a perfect family picture. They deserve parents who can be emotionally healthy, loving, and genuine. But we failed to be such…

Divorce is not a victory. It is not a defeat either. Often it is the last resort when all others have been tried… And in our case, maybe even tried too hard to save it, because it had long ceased to be what I wanted.
So today I have only one request – before judging, let us remember that we never know how much pain a person has silently carried until they finally made one of the hardest decisions of their life. One they never dreamed of, planned, or wanted the most.
Another thing – children. Who in this situation are the most painful, sensitive place. For whom it is hard for me to find words.. They are the most sacred, purest, and dearest thing to me. That is why I want to protect them. Please respect them. Little innocent angels.
Sometimes leaving is not weakness. Sometimes it is the greatest courage. The courage to accept change. The courage to endure pain. The courage to start life anew. Because healing always takes time.
This post is not about finding who is to blame. It is about understanding that behind every divorce lies a story that usually no one sees. It is very easy to judge a person when you only see the end. Much harder to understand the whole journey to it.
Today I am deeply hurt. But I know one thing – even when it seems that there is no strength left, I still stand up. Like the day my three children were born at once. Sometimes it seemed hard, but I got up for them and always did everything for them.
So it is now. Only this time much harder. Sometimes it feels like I live on autopilot – I get up, go, do, and fight. For peace. For safety. For freedom. For happiness. For myself and my children.
I believe that after every storm comes calm. I believe that one day all this will hurt less. Until then, I choose to just keep going… one day at a time, step by step.
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. But I know one thing – I will always choose what ultimately brings more love, peace, and light to my children and me,” wrote S. Lipnė.
The couple became famous back in 2017 when they had triplets. Simona and Mindaugas got married in 2019.
Simona said in the podcast “Nusirenk iki pusės” that she and Mindaugas met back in 2014, but at that time their relationship was only friendly. Their paths crossed again in the same bar, where mutual friends introduced them.
Simona called it a sign of fate: “I just came to a friend’s birthday, and she wanted to meet her acquaintance. It turned out that the acquaintance was with Mindaugas.”
Although the man saw Simona as a friend at that time, Simona did not want things to progress slowly.

“She was very persistent,” said Mindaugas.
