Charley Webb has confirmed she has split from husband of five years Matthew Wolfenden in a heartbreaking statement.
The 35-year-old Emmerdale actress took to Instagram this afternoon to share the sad news with her 584,000 followers.
On her story, she wrote: “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.” (sic)
Charley and Matthew met on the set of ITV soap Emmerdale, going on to have three children together and marrying in 2018.
Charley joined the iconic show in 2002 as a teenager, playing the role of Cain (played by Jeff Hordley) and Charity’s (Emma Atkins) estranged daughter Debbie Dingle.
Matthew was cast as Eric Pollard’s (Chris Chittell) son David Metcalfe four years later in 2006.
The pair began dating in 2007 and announced they were expecting their first child in 2009.
Matthew went on to propose to Charley on Christmas day of that same year, and the couple welcomed their eldest son Buster in April 2010.
While the actors reportedly split in 2013, they later patched things up and Charley gave birth to their second son Bowie in December 2015.
The couple’s final child Ace was born in July 2019, with Charley frequently sharing updates on their family of five to social media.
