Lorraine correspondent Ross King 'secretly splits from wife' 22 years his junior

Lorraine star Ross King has reportedly split from his wife Brianna Deutsch.

Ross, 60, married Brianna, who is 22 years his junior, in a star studded ceremony attended by Take That star Gary Barlow and Hollywood actor Gerard Butler, in 2015.

However it's believed that the Hollywood correspondent quietly split from his wife before the pandemic, but the former couple are still friends.

The pair got engaged in 2010 and married in a Beverly Hills restaurant in front of celebs such as Jackie Collins, EastEnders star Patsy Palmer and Vinnie Jones.

Gary even performed during the reception and shared a duet with Ross, who also appears on Good Morning Britain to dish out the Hollywood goss, and was awarded an MBE in 2018 for services to entertainment.

However, it appears the couple have parted ways.

A source told the Sun: “The pair have remained amicable and still run in the same circles, they just realised they weren’t on the same page romantically any more.

The source went on: “Ross loves living in Hollywood and has been throwing himself into work and writing novels.”

Speaking to the Mirror in 2014, Ross said of his then fiancée: “She’s very beautiful and I know I’m punching, well, well above my weight.

“The age difference has never been an issue. I want to have kids too. I’m not worried about being an older dad."

He added: “I’m a big family man. I still get homesick for my mum and sister back home in Scotland and come back to visit as often as possible."

In the same interview, Ross shared how he and Brianna met.

He said: “In 2007 I was working on the KTLA TV station and Brianna was doing an internship there. I’d never met her but one day I had this email asking for my advice and offering to take me for lunch.

“I’d just got out of the pool and was in shorts and t-shirt with my hair all dishevelled and when I walked in there was this gorgeous woman. It turned into a very long lunch."

In 2015, the pair spoke of how special their wedding was.

Ross, who had been married once before, told Hello! magazine: "When I was taking acting lessons I was taught a technique which helps you to be present in the moment.

"It's a way of slowing down time. I shall never forget seeing Brianna walk up the aisle.

"Nor the mention of my parents - my elderly mother back in Glasgow and my father who we lost a couple of years ago. I'd have loved them to have been there."

Brianna said: "It was everything I wanted it to be and more. What surprised me was that I was so calm. It meant I was able to savour every moment, although I did get teary when we exchanged vows."

The Mirror has approached Ross for comment.
