The marriage between Arcade Fire's indie-rocker spouses Win Butler and Régine Chassagne has flamed out.

The longtime collaborators and romantic partners split "after a long and loving marriage," the Canadian "Reflektor" group announced Thursday in a statement shared on social media. Butler, 45, and Chassagne, 49, married in 2003 and will "continue to love, admire and support each other as they co-parent their son," the band said.

The Grammy-winning rock group, founded in 2001 and known for songs "The Suburbs" and "Wake Up," announced the singers' separation years after several people accused front man Butler of sexual misconduct in 2022.

Four people came forward about their alleged experiences with Butler in a report published by Pitchfork in August 2022. Three women alleged they were subjected to sexual misconduct between 2016 and 2022 when they were between the ages of 18 and 23. The fourth, gender-fluid accuser alleged Butler sexually assaulted them in 2015 when they were 21 and he was 34.

Amid Pitchfork's report, Butler denied the misconduct allegations in a statement and said he "had consensual relationships outside my marriage." Chassagne, who gave birth to her son with Butler in 2013, remained firm in her support for her now-estranged husband in 2022. The "Sprawl II" singer said, "I know what is in his heart, and I know he has never, and would never, touch a woman without her consent and I am certain he never did."

She added at the time: "He has lost his way and he has found his way back. I love him and love the life we have created together."

Arcade Fire rose to prominence in the 2000s for its anthemic rock, cementing its place in the Montreal indie scene with its Grammy-winning 2010 album "The Suburbs." The group has been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards and has played some of music's biggest stages including the Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals. The group released its seventh album, "Pink Elephant," in May.

Thursday's statement clarified that Butler and Chassagne's "bond as creative soulmates will endure, as will Arcade Fire." The estranged spouses will also continue their charity work in addition to caring for their child.

"The band send their love and look forward to seeing you all on tour soon," the statement said.
