Ashley, 31, got engaged to Francesca back in 2014, with the pair marrying a year later and now sharing two children.
They’ve been together for over 16 years but now the childhood sweethearts have said their main priority is their children.
Following the news, Francesca has made a big change to her social media account.
She’s removed all traces of her husband from her Instagram bio as she now says she is a “working mummy of two”.
The bio previously named and linked to Dancing On Ice judge Ashley.
However, she is still using Ashley’s surname, instead of her maiden name which is Abbott.
The pair released a joint statement announcing their shock split which read: “After much thought and consideration we both feel now is the time to share some personal news.
“Nearly 18 months ago we took the decision to separate.
“After being together for over 16 years, since we were teenagers, this is not a decision that has been taken lightly.

“It has not been easy and the processing of the situation has not been fast by any means. But we feel that as we approach the new year it is time to share this news with others.
“Our main focus will always be our beautiful children. Every decision that has been made is to make sure we can continue as a loving family and give the very best of ourselves as parents.
“Raising Rose and Micah in a healthy and happy environment is the most important thing to both of us.
“Sometimes after so many years people just move in different directions, but we do so lovingly and we continue to try and be both the best parents possible and the best of friends to each other.
“We have always been private with our personal lives, so we kindly ask that everyone please continue to respect that privacy.
“We won’t be making any further comment on the situation. Thank you, lots of love, Ash and Chess x”
Ashley and Francesca share two children, with their first baby, a daughter named Rose, born in 2019.
Francesca gave birth to the family’s second addition, a son named Micah Grace, in the early hours of the evening of March 26, 2020.
