Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have announced their shock divorce.
The TV presenting duo had tied the knot in 2010, and they had been presenting on TV together for even longer.
Together they have a son, Jack, who was born in 2002, while Holmes also has three children from his first marriage.
But today, a spokesperson for the pair confirmed the news to The Sun on Sunday in a statement, saying: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

Eamonn and Ruth will likely have been best known among TV audiences for their time together on This Morning, where they normally presented on Fridays and the school holidays.
Meanwhile, they also presented How The Other Half Lives, Do The Right Thing With Eamonn And Ruth and Eamonn And Ruth’s 7 Year Itch.
Viewers will remember some memorable moments, including the time Peter Kay tried to tell them what a 'dog's lipstick' was.
Holmes finished his time with This Morning in 2021, bringing an end to 15 years of him and Ruth on the ITV show's sofa, and claims that he was let go by the channel after he made comments in 2020 about the coronavirus pandemic.

He claimed his comments about the 'mainstream media' shutting down discussion on 5G networks, which received over 750 complaints, resulted in him being sacked 'without warning'.
Holmes later started working as a presenter for GB News, where he presents Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, and became very outspoken when former This Morning presenter Philip Schofield left the show.
There had been some other controversial moments in his time in broadcasting, including describing a singer as 'retarded' where he apologised after there were calls for him to be sacked.
Ruth continues to work with ITV, most notably as a presenter on Loose Women, a show she has been part of since 1999.

Langsford recently spoke to Woman's Weekly about the impact of Holmes' health problems.
She said: "I don’t know how much Eamonn’s mobility will improve. We live in hope.
"He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right.
"With any care situation - and there are millions of carers in this country - it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family.
"I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is."
