Phillip Scholfield’s wife has no plans to chase him for a multi-million-pound divorce.
Stephanie Lowe, 55, is said by friends to have been “shattered” by the star’s revelation on Friday.
But those close to the couple insist she will not be chasing him in court for half of his estimated £8million fortune. A source said: “Steph isn’t bitter over Phil’s coming out, and she isn’t the type of woman to be spiteful to him by dragging him into court.
“She’s saying she is going to stick with him until he’s settled and happy in a new relationship, and then they will talk about an amicable split deal.”
The source said Stephanie wants things with Phillip to remain friendly.

He is believed to pocket around £600,000 a year for co-presenting ITV’s This Morning.
Phillip gets a further £45,000 an episode for fronting Dancing On Ice.
Phillip came out as gay in an emotional post on social media on Friday morning.

He then spoke frankly live on air with co-host Holly Willoughby, 38, about his secret battle. Afterwards, the show’s crew applauded him.
Phillip has had huge support from fellow celebrities and viewers since his announcement.
And yesterday his daughter Molly, 27, spoke out for the first time.
She posted a family photo on Instagram, and said: “Love you always, so proud of you.”
