Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady) announced on Instagram that he and his wife, Touriya, have separated.

"As we open our hearts full of love & sadness, 9 years together and 3 beautiful children, we have decided to amicably separate," Vaughan shared. "With dear love for each other and our family, as parents first and foremost, we kindly ask our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. With our sincere love, Greg & Touriya."

The pair was married on June 4, 2006. They have three children: six-year-old Jathan, four-year-old Cavan, and two-year-old Landan.

Vaughan made his first Days of our Lives appearance in November 2012. Prior to joining DAYS, Vaughan starred as Diego Guittierez on The Young and the Restless from 2002 to 2003. After wrapping his Y&R stint, Vaughan began a six-year run as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital.

This is the second high-profile soap separation in the past few weeks. Last month, Arianne Zucker (Nicole Walker) and husband Kyle Lowder announced that they had divorced. For more on that story, please click here.
