Entertainment Tonight host Nancy O’Dell has separated from her husband, Keith Zubulevich, after more than a decade of marriage.
O’Dell recently found herself in the middle of a national scandal when a leaked Access Hollywood tape revealed Donald Trump and Billy Bush engaging in a lewd conversation.
Apparently, the 50-year-old entertainment journalist filed for a legal separation in early September — before the infamous Access Hollywood exchange made headlines.

According to US Weekly, O’Dell and Zubchevich married in 2005 and have a daughter named Ashby. Zubchevich, a chief strategist of a technology company, has two sons, Tyler and Carson, from a previous marriage.
After the 2005 footage surfaced last week featuring Trump bragging to former Access Hollywood reporter Bush about hitting on women and his ability to grope them without retribution, O’Dell was identified as one of the two women the pair were discussing.
On Monday, O’Dell addressed the video on ET saying: “I released a statement on Saturday and I truly mean what I said. There is no room for objectification of women, or anybody for that matter, not even in the ‘locker room.’ The conversation has got to change because everybody deserves respect no matter the gender or setting. And as a mom, well I have to add that our kids — especially our young girls — need to know that their hard work, their achievements, their intelligence, their heart, are most important. And those things will not go unnoticed.”

This is her second response to Trump. She previously issued a statement on Saturday, saying she was “saddened that these comments still exist in our society at all.”
“When I heard the comments yesterday, it was disappointing to hear such objectification of women. The conversation needs to change because no female, no person, should be the subject of such crass comments, whether or not cameras are rolling,” O’Dell’s statement read. “Everyone deserves respect no matter the setting or gender. As a woman who has worked very hard to establish her career, and as a mom, I feel I must speak out with the hope that as a society we will always strive to be better.”
The recent string of events have been “really tough for her,” according to Us.
