I want to thank friends and family who have given wisdom and support, and I ask for privacy during this challenging time.”

Kwan and Pell, who do not share any children together, wed in January 2013 after a four-month engagement.

Michelle, 36, and the 35-year-old lawyer and lieutenant in the United States Coast Guard Reserve exchanged vows at a church in Providence, Rhode Island in front of family and friends. Michelle wore an ivory Vera Wang gown, while Pell was dressed in his military uniform.
