Marchesa fashion boss Georgina Chapman and Weinstein, 65, married in 2007 and have two children together
In a statement to PEOPLE, Chapman, 41, said: "My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions.
"I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time."
Just days ago, Oscar winner Weinstein , the executive producer of the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, said: “I have had tough conversations with my family, really tough ones, but my family is standing with me... Georgina will be with others kicking my a** to be a better human being and to apologise to people for my bad behaviour.”
