Source language: Greek

Ας τα λέμε. Ο Ρωμανός χώρισε, όχι για κάποιο συγκεκριμένο λόγο, αλλά τους "τελείωσε" ο γάμος. Κι εδώ που τα λέμε, όντως το τελευταίο διάστημα ήταν λες και συμβιώνανε απλά. Ούτε σεξ ούτε τίποτα.

Let's say so. Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but his marriage ended. Now that we are talking about it, indeed, lately they were just living together. No sex or anything.

Hi Galathea

Is Romanos a person or a couple? If this is a couple, it should be 'the Romanos' in English. If it is a person, 'their' and 'they' is not correct.

Apart from this, my suggestion, to make it sound a bit more 'normal', is:

It's a fact. The Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but their marriage ended. Lately, they were just living together anyway. No sex or anything.

Do you agree? Can you help? Thanks!

Hello

Romanos is a person and I agree with your suggestion, but i used their exact pronouns (Ο Ρωμανός χώρισε = involves only him as person "he broke up", but τους = their, them).
Considering that I dont know the context, i kept their original style.
Also, I totally agree with your other more "normal" form

Το "ας τα λέμε" δε σημαίνει "it's a fact". What about "let's say so.."

I agree with Xristina. We use "let's say so" as an answer to "Is everything/are you allright?"

"Let's say so. Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but his marriage ended. Since/Nnow that we are talking about it, indeed, lately they were just living together.Neither sex nor anything."
