Countryfile star Helen Skelton has announced her split from husband Richie Myler.
The 38-year-old TV personality shared the shocking news with her fans on Instagram on Monday evening (April 25).
Their separation after nine years together comes after the pair welcomed their third child in December.
In an emotional post showing white writing on a background on her Story, Helen 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 rounded off the heartfelt message with two broken heart emojis.

It came just hours after she made another candid post to her fans about her struggles with motherhood which read: “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.”
As well as their most recent addition to their family, daughter Elsie Kate, the couple have also shared sons Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

Back in September 2021, Helen told OK! Magazine that “nothing gives you so much joy but brings you to your knees as parenting”, and admitted that being a mother can be “exhausting at times”.
Despite her struggles, she said of her children that she “wouldn’t change them for the world”.
Richie Myler, 31, is a professional rugby league player who currently plays for the Leeds Rhinos in the Betfred Super League.
He’s also been capped seven times by England since 2008 and most recently played for the national side in 2018.
The presenter previously revealed that her sons helped in choosing Elsie’s name because it features the first letters of their own monikers.
