Breaking News: Joel Osteen’s Wife Announces Divorce, Leaves Many Heartbroken — Here’s What We Know
Houston, TX — In a stunning announcement that has sent shockwaves through the faith community, Victoria Osteen, co-pastor of Lakewood Church and wife of renowned televangelist Joel Osteen, has officially announced the couple’s decision to divorce.
The news was shared in a joint statement released earlier today, in which the Osteens acknowledged their decision to part ways after over three decades of marriage. “After much prayer and reflection, we have decided to end our marriage. This decision was not made lightly, and we remain committed to our shared faith, our family, and the work we’ve done together,” the statement read.
Joel and Victoria Osteen have been one of the most recognized and influential couples in Christian ministry, leading Lakewood Church in Houston — one of the largest megachurches in the United States. Their teachings of hope, positivity, and God’s grace have reached millions across the globe.
While neither party has elaborated on the reasons behind the separation, sources close to the family say the split was amicable, and both Joel and Victoria plan to continue their work at Lakewood Church — albeit separately. The couple shares two children, Jonathan and Alexandra, both of whom are active in the ministry.
Reactions from fans and followers have poured in across social media, with many expressing sadness and surprise. “I’m heartbroken. They were an example of faith and unity,” one follower wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Others offered words of support, asking for prayers and privacy for the family during this time.
As of now, there has been no indication that either Osteen will be stepping down from their ministry roles. The church has asked for continued support and understanding as the family navigates this new chapter.
This is a developing story. We will update with more details as they become available.
