Emmerdale couple Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden split

Emmerdale stars Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have been married for five years but recently triggered separation rumours.

The couple began seeing each other in 2007 before getting tying the knot in 2018.

They both have three children together – Buster, Bowie, and Ace – with their youngest being just three years old.

With Matthew starring in Elf the Musical this festive season, The Sun reported that Matthew had unfollowed Charley on Instagram before re-following her later.

The stars were also seen without their wedding rings recently, making split rumours seem more likely to be true.

Now, the actors have both announced that they have indeed decided to break up, revealing the news via social media.
