I you don't want to still be married - which you HAVE been for the last ten years - then YES you need to get a divorce.

No. "Separated" is not "divorced". The married man is still married and must obtain a legal dissolution of the marriage before he can remarry. In most places, marrying a second person while still married is called bigamy, and it is a crime.

He is divorced and has been divorced for 3 years and separated from his wife for about 4 1/2 years and has been dating a girl seriously for quite some time now. Rumor has it, he has bought a nice engagement ring for her!
You are still legally married. In fact, you are just separated. However, considering the length of the separation, if you wish to obtain a divorce, a judge will certainly grant it based on the duration of the separation. Good luck!
