It is not clear what the reason for their separation was, but the couple, who had a common professional background, decided that it was best to go their separate ways. However, they intend to work together in raising their children. In an interview with Brad, he said that he would love to spend a Saturday with his children in sports fields. On other occasions, they would go on vacation.

Brad believes that it is good news for the children to see how parents support each other when they give parental advice to their fellow divorcees. He says this shows them a kind of resilience and makes the picture somewhat balanced in the middle of a difficult time. The divorce of Brad and Jane is said to be one of the most amicable separations the Hollywood world has ever seen. Although it made headlines, there was no unnecessary or loud violent drama during the separation processes. What happened instead, to the astonishment of all who wanted to follow her story, was not only that both had joint custody of their children. Rather, they also went, without doing it one-sidedly, the laudable mile of dividing the costs of raising their three children equally.

In 2012, Bradley Whitford played the role of a politically active gay on Shameless. Apart from that, Brad did not show any attitude or action that would suggest that he was/is in reality gay. He is heterosexual; enough to have been married once, and in 2015 he started dating Amy Landecker, his co-star in the series Transparent.
