‘Stephanie and Darren separated back in October 2018. It is a personal matter that they have chosen to deal with privately. There was nobody else involved on either side,’ an official comment read to HELLO! magazine.
The former couple married in 2007 at Comlongon Castle in Dumfries, Scotland, and share children Madison and Dalton.
In June 2017, Darren and Stephanie renewed their vows in a lavish ceremony at the same venue they tied the knot.
Speaking about the big day, she told HELLO!: ‘To stand with Darren ten years on, I’m not just proud of him as my husband, but of his sobriety and his strength.
‘I knew he was going to be a good husband, but looking at what sort of man and father he has become, I feel more in love and more committed to him than ever.’
