"Thanks for your concern about our separation," Bono, 42,Tweeted. "I'm doing fine, and we remain on good terms with nothing but respect and affection 4 each other." 

They got engaged earlier this year when Bono proposed to Elia in Seattle. 

Though the couple started dating before Bono transitioned from female to male, Elia said in 2009 that she fully supported his decision

But in the CNN documentary Being Chaz, which aired in November, she admitted she was concerned for Bono's safety due to the backlash he received as the first transgender contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
