After months of speculation, former Emmerdale star Charley Webb has confirmed she has split from actor Matthew Wolfenden.
She confirmed the news with a post on her Instagram, asking for privacy as they make their children their priority.
Writing on Instagram, Charley posted: "It is with love and respect that Matthew and I have decided to separate.
"We remain friends and our priority is the love for our children.
"For their sake we would appreciate privacy at this time. C x."
Matthew shared the same message on his Instagram story signing off with "M".
The couple met on the set of Emmerdale and began dating in 2007 before revealing they were expecting their first child in 2009.
The couple went on to have two more sons and they married in 2018, five years after they reportedly split for a short time.
Matthew has previously spoken about how their busy work schedules impacted their living arrangements.
Joining the Loose Women panel, he said: "Charley's on tour [with the musical, Quiz]. Bless my mum and dad, I owe them a holiday after this run because they've stepped in and moved into the house.
"And they're looking after the kids, so yeah thanks, mum and dad! It's tough. And I'm a real softie with the kids as well.
"I just love being at home with them, to be away from them… I'm counting down the days to the weekend.
The announcement comes just days after Matthew was spotted without his wedding ring after an appearance on Steph's Packed Lunch.
As he left the studios, he was dressed in black trousers and a white T-shirt with a black jacket. He had a bag slung across his chest and a backpack.
Matthew completed his look with a grey cap, worn backwards. He also carried another coat on a hanger.
The Emmerdale actor, best known for playing David Metcalfe, unfollowed his estranged wife on Instagram which caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans.
However, just days later, he re-followed Charley, hinting a reunion may be on the cards.
Charley has also been seen without her wedding ring in public.
