NEW YORK _ Designer Kate Spade's battle with depression _ which led to her apparent suicide Tuesday _ was fueled by her husband's desire for a divorce, according to a report.
Her husband, Andy Spade, had moved out of their Upper East Side home, was living at a nearby apartment and wanted a divorce, according to TMZ. The two married in 1994 and have a 13-year-old girl together.
Spade, 55, considered one of the world's most famous designers and known for her signature sleek handbags, died Tuesday after hanging herself with a scarf in her bedroom.
She left a note telling her daughter that her death was not the teen's fault. She also instructed her daughter to seek answers from her father.
A police source said "troubles at home" fueled Spade's decision to take her own life.
