In some of the saddest news you will likely hear this week, or at least this hour…Kermit the Frog and Missy Piggy have broken up as the debut of The Muppets TV series nears.
The official Facebook pages of both Muppets’ characters issued this message:
“After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, Miss Piggy made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship. We will continue to work together on television (“The Muppets”/Tuesdays 8pm this fall on ABC) and in all media now known or hereafter devised, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. However, our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al. This is our only comment on this private matter. Thank you for your understanding.”
On Tuesday, the couple appeared together at the Television Critics Association panel, and that was where Kermit dropped the bombshell. The leader of The Muppets does have a new “girlfriend,” and she works in the marketing department at ABC.
Kermit’s new girlfriend, Denise, works in marketing for ABC. If you watched the presentation, you know this. #TCA15 #Muppets

Even with that bit of news, Miss Piggy was not shaken.
“Dating moi is like flying close too the sun. It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens.”

The break-up of the famous Muppets‘ couple is just the latest in a long line of celebrity splits in recent weeks. Bennifer is no more…Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani broke it off…even Reba McEntire is single again.
What could have caused the great break-up? Is it just a clever marketing ploy from Disney and ABC for the new television series The Muppets? Will there be no more awkward pig-frog kissing?
