After five years of marriage, Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have confirmed their divorce

Following five years of marriage, Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have announced their separation.

The three children of the couple, who met on the Emmerdale set, are three-year-old Ace, six-year-old Bowie, and twelve-year-old Buster. They started dating in 2007.

In an attempt to show a unified front, they confirmed the separation with a joint Instagram statement.


We both have decided to split with all love and respect. Our love for our kids is our top priority, and we will always be. We would request privacy for their sake at this time, Charley wrote in his post.

While Matthew substituted his name for Charley's in an almost identical piece that he shared on social media.

Their actions on social media initially led followers to believe that they might have called it quits.

After playing David Metcalfe on Emmerdale for eighteen years, Matthew recently unfollowed his wife on Instagram and then followed her back. For more than a year, he hasn't posted about her or left comments on any of her most current photos; Charley's grid has similarly been devoid of Matthew-related content.

After having three children and juggling new occupations, everything has changed, and they might not be the same group they once were.

After a brief breakup in 2013, Matthew proposed on Christmas Day of that year. The couple eventually married on February 10, 2018, but their guests were taken aback by the surprise wedding.

At Ripley Castle, close to Harrogate, they were joined by one hundred people who mistakenly believed they were attending Charley's 30th birthday celebration—instead, they were getting married.
