Phillip Schofield has been spotted out with his wife Stephanie Lowe as the pair cuddled identical puppies together on his birthday.
In new snaps, Phillip could be seen wearing dark blue jeans and a grey hoodie over a black T-shirt, scooping a chocolate brown cavapoo into his arms with a backpack slung over one shoulder. Adding a pair of black leather shoes, Phillip matched outfits with Stephanie, who donned identical jeans under a thigh-length grey coat. She added a black turtleneck and sunglasses as the pair strolled in west London together.
Stephanie, who wore her blonde hair loose around her shoulders, looked relaxed as she held a puppy of her own with a pink lead in her arms, while Phil had a frown fixed on his face as the pair walked together.

Stephanie has continued to support her estranged husband after he came out as gay, admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a male colleague on This Morning as he quit the show for good last year. The pair now appear to have welcomed identical puppies from the same litter.
It comes just after Phillip and Stephanie would have celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary on Friday, March 29, after originally tying the knot back in 1993. The pair still aren’t divorced, and Phillip admitted to The Sun that she was “very, very angry” he’d concealed the affair from her.
Phillip said: “She got off a plane and I phoned her up and texted saying, ‘I need to talk to you’. She called back and I told her. She was very, very angry.” He’d previously told her the rumours were “untrue” and branded them “b*****ks”.
He added last year: “My daughters were unbelievable. They are without question, our greatest asset. I always say our, but from a father’s point of view, my greatest asset are my girls.”
Phillip and Stephanie share adult daughters Molly and Ruby together, who both said they were “proud” of their dad for coming out publicly back in 2020. It was only in 2023 that he released an explosive statement about “lying” to his family about his affair.
In a statement released that year, Phil confessed to Daily Mail: “I am making this statement via the Daily Mail to whom I have already apologised personally for misleading, through my lawyer who I also misled, about a story which they wanted to write about me a few days ago.

“The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied to them, and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning. I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.
“Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship. That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over.”
Phil said nobody “forced” him to come out, and said nobody was ever sacked from ITV because of him. He insisted he’d stayed silent to “protect” the other man, and said he was “very, very sorry” for the lies while resigning from ITV.
