Vera Wang splits from husband: report

Vera Wang, the designer known for making bride’s wedding dress dreams come true, has split from her husband Arthur Becker, according to a report by Women’s Wear Daily.

The president of the designer’s company, Mario Grauso, issued a statement to the fashion trade newspaper saying, “Vera Wang and Arthur Becker have mutually and amicably agreed to separate. They remain devoted parents to their two daughters.”

Becker, who worked for a time as a stockbroker at Bear Stearns & Co., and as as chief executive officer of NaviSite, has become more involved with the day-to-day operations at Vera Wang in recent years.

A friend of the designer’s told WWD, “They will not let this impact the running of the company. They have worked too hard to build it up.”

The pair, who wed in 1989, have two daughters, Cecilia and Josephine.
