According to Sport24 news, family legal representative David Becker, on behalf of Graeme and Morgan Smith, said that Graeme and Morgan were unfortunately divorcing. Becker added that this was a private matter and the couple would ask that their privacy was respected during this time, both for the sake of themselves and their children.
