Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton has announced she has split from husband Richie Myler months after the couple celebrated the arrival of their third child. The former Blue Peter star announced the break-up on her Instagram account.
She wrote: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children."
She finished the message with two broken heart emojis, reports The Mirror. Helen married England rugby star Richie in 2013. They have three children together, Ernie, six, Louis, five, and four-month-old Elsie Kate.
The latest message came just hours after Helen had shared a lengthy message about some of the struggles of motherhood. She wrote: "A mama is always full of emotions. Full of love. Full of anxiety and worries. Full of exhaustion and lack of energy. Full of mum guilt and doubt. Full of pride in her kids. Full of pure joy.
"She feels it all, that's the beauty of her, she carries it all, too. And yet she gets up every day and does it all over again."
On New Year's Eve she announced the birth of her third child. Speaking with Hello! Magazine, Helen revealed she gave birth to her third child on December 28 and said: "We were always going to have Kate as a middle name after my cousin, who sadly passed away when we were in our 20s.
"I was really close to her, she was a scientist and crazy cool."
