Joe Gatto's estranged wife, Bessy Gatto, seemingly hinted at what she felt after their separation on social media.

The "Impractical Jokers" star's ex uploaded a video on TikTok a day after their split announcement. In the clip, she responded to the question, "What’s that broken thing in your house that everyone just accepts and lives with?" Bessy cuddled with her dog and raised her hand in response to suggest that she was the one "broken."

Her post on TikTok came after she addressed their breakup on Instagram Friday. Bessy shared a throwback picture with her husband and accompanied it with her statement about the split.

"Hi everyone. With love and respect, we have decided to separate. Although we will no longer be a couple, we will always be a family to our beautiful kids and we look forward to co-parenting together," she wrote. "We ask that you please respect our privacy as we navigate this new chapter together. And of course we will still continue to help animals and rescue dogs, which is something we are both passionate about!"

Joe also shared a lengthy post mentioning their split on social media. In his post, he also announced his exit from truTV's "Impractical Jokers" after being part of it for nearly a decade. He starred in the series alongside James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn and Sal Vulcano since December 2011. Even if he would no longer be part of the show, Joe was positive that the trio "will continue to make the world laugh."

"Sorry in advance for the long and more-serious-than-usual note below, I just wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be involved with 'Impractical Jokers,'" he wrote.

"However, due to some issues in my personal life, I have to step away. Bessy and I have decided to amicably part ways, so now I need to focus on being the best father and co-parent to our two incredible kids," he added.

Following his departure from the show, Joe said he would focus on taking care of his and Bessy's two children — daughter Milana, 6, and son Remo, 4. He also hinted that he would be looking for other means to make his fans laugh.

"To all of the amazing fans, thank you for allowing me to make you laugh with 'Jokers.' They say that laughter is the best medicine, and I hope I’ve been able to provide some of that over the last decade. Seeing you laugh has been my own medicine, particularly in these weird and difficult times we find ourselves," he continued. "As I work through the challenges I am facing, I hope to and am excited to create new ways to entertain you."
