Fulfilling the role of messenger, Rebecca shared this update through Lyle's Facebook account, clarifying that the couple has been separated for some time. She was quick to highlight the amicable nature of their split, stating that it was not fueled by any cheating scandal. Instead, Rebecca emphasized that they "remain best friends and family."

Addressing rumors swirling around Lyle's alleged affair with a 21-year-old student named Milly Bucksey, who he was reportedly seen with during a visit behind bars, Rebecca firmly denied any such illicit relationship. She underscored her ongoing dedication to Lyle and his brother Erik Menendez's fight for freedom, vowing to continue updating Lyle’s Facebook page and keeping the public informed about their case.

Lyle Menendez is currently serving a life sentence alongside his brother Erik for the 1989 murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Today marks a significant juncture in their legal battle, as a hearing is set to discuss a possible reduction of their sentences and the reclassification of their conviction from murder to manslaughter. Their lawyer, Mark Geragos, is leading this crucial bid for a reassessment of their case.

Lyle recently referenced his nearly two-decade-long marriage to Rebecca in a resentencing request, noting, "Her unwavering support and belief in me is something I am most grateful for and has played no small part in my journey to be a better person." As the Menendez brothers await this pivotal legal update, the announcement of this personal life change adds yet another layer to their already complex story.
