Comedian Alan Carr and his husband Paul Drayton are separating, a spokesperson for Carr has said.
They have been married for three years, but have been a couple for 13 years and said they have made the decision “jointly and amicably”.
In a statement to the PA news agency, the spokesperson said: “After 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, Alan Carr and Paul Drayton would like to announce they are separating.
“They have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go their separate ways.
“We request that their privacy is respected at this sensitive time.”
Carr, 45, hosted the Royal Variety Performance for the first time last year, saying it had been a “dream come true”.
Their split comes after a tough 2021 for the couple - with Paul struggling in his battle against alcohol addiction.
Paul and Alan tied the knot back in 2018 after 10 years together as a couple - with the Chatty Man's pal Adele heavily involved in the nuptials.
The pair married in Los Angeles, with a spokesperson for Alan saying at the time: "Alan Carr married his long-term partner Paul Drayton at a small private ceremony in LA last week.
"The couple are currently on honeymoon in Mexico and are planning a big celebration with all their family and friends back in the UK later this summer. They are both extremely happy."
Last month, it was revealed that Paul was set to have holes drilled in his skull as he underwent a life-saving operation.
The 50-year-old took to Instagram in December to reveal details of the emergency surgery, and told his followers he would be ‘offline for a while’ as he recovers.
The health update came just months after the couple confirmed Paul had fallen off the wagon in his journey to sobriety during the summer.
