Emmerdale stars Matthew Wolfenden and Charley Webb have added further hints that they have split after five years of marriage.
The David Metcalfe actor, 43, unfollowed his wife on social media following reports that “everything has changed” for the couple and that they are living “separate lives”. Charley, 35, who starred as Debbie Dingle on and off from 2002 to 2021, has moved her wedding rings to her right hand but still follows her husband on Instagram.
The actress was spotted arriving at the Theatre Royal in Norwich on Thursday (November 2) as she continues her role as Diana Ingram in the stage production of Quiz. An insider told The Sun: “Charley and Matthew were in very different places in their lives when they first got together.

“Three kids later and with new careers in the mix, everything has changed and perhaps they are no longer the unit they once were.” Daily Star has contacted Matthew and Charley’s representatives for comment.

The couple first met on the set of Emmerdale in 2007 and became engaged two years later. Despite splitting in 2013, they reconciled two years later and tied the knot in a secret castle ceremony in 2018.
Previously speaking about their breakup, Matthew told The Mirror: “It was never a permanent split, we just needed some time apart. Sometimes life just gets on top of you.

“We had a ‘terrible’ two-year-old at the time and needed time to look at what we had, but it was the best thing we could have done.” David and Charley share three sons together; Buster, 13, Bowie, seven, and Ace, three.
Back in 2018, the couple’s wedding day was a huge surprise to their 100 guests as Charley told them that they were there to celebrate her 30th birthday. Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas – Charley’s brother – gave her away away, while her Emmerdale co-star Lucy Pargeter was one of her bridesmaids.

Sharing insight into their big day with OK! magazine, Charley said: “That moment when we announced what we were doing and seeing everybody’s reaction is the best moment of my life. This way we got to do it totally the way we wanted – it wasn’t traditional, we didn’t have a sit-down meal and there weren’t loads of speeches.
“Someone once told me their friend had a surprise wedding and it stuck in my mind.” Matthew also admitted that their guests screamed in surprise for 10 minutes.
