Relationship between Burzis and Hoda
Burzis and Hoda married each other in December 2005 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was Burzis who proposed to Hoda in May 2005 for marriage.
Sadly, after two years, on February 15, 2007, Hoda filed for divorce. Their divorce got finalized on February 6, 2008.
Reason for divorce
While talking with radaronline.com, Burzis stated that his father was ill and Hoda was ill as well.
He added it was a difficult time, and those were personal reasons for them. He also said they had differences.
Even though he didn't specify how Hoda was ill, later in February 2007, Hoda herself revealed that she batted with breast cancer.
He said his moving to New York to be with his wife somehow put a strain on their marriage.
As he lived in New Orleans for over three decades, he was not used to living in a big city and called New York to be overwhelming.
He wanted to be home which is New Orleans.
Burzis accepted that he was immature and made several mistakes in his marriage but called his short duration of marriage unfortunate and added it was a shame it transpired that way.
As a fact of coincidence, the couple met on Valentine’s Day and separated on the same day.
After the divorce, Burzis said he would always cherish the memories he has with Hoda and praised her as the epitome of class.
However, while opening up about her divorce in 2013, Hoda said Valentine's Day is not her favorite holiday of the year as she met and signed the divorce papers with her husband on this specific holiday.
