From an astrological perspective, it's very interesting that this announcement was made on possibly the very day transiting Uranus was exactly conjunct Steve's Venus. However, I'm not sure it was exact, because that depends on Steve's birth time, which I don't have; all I have is his birthdate, which I found on
Wikipedia - 4/14/1971.
In astrology, Uranus is the planet associated with sudden, shocking actions, rebellion, defiance of convention, etc., while Venus is the planet associated with love, relationships, marriage, etc.
Here's a short interpretation of transiting Uranus conjunct Venus from
Uranus Transits Birth Chart and Natal Planets :
Quote:
Uranus conjunct Venus
New and (perhaps) unusual ways of appreciating and loving may be possible now. You may discover something new about love or may adopt a different and unconventional value system for a time.

There's a longer interpretation at this site:
Uranus Transits I probably shouldn't quote the entirety since it's so long, so, just go to the section titled "Uranus-Venus transits".
According to that page, transiting Uranus conjunct natal Venus is a transit which only happens once every 84 years. The interpretation is astonishingly appropriate. I'll quote a little bit:

You will begin to seek freedom and excitement in your relationships, particularly in your love (and sex) life. If there is room in your existing relationships for this type of change, it can be a time of exhilaration and growth for both partners. If not, you may feel the need to end some of your present relationships and seek this new freedom elsewhere. Some people open up their marriage to include other companions or sexual partners.

Steve, have you been studying astrology at all lately? Just curious.
Best wishes,
Apollia
