The Daily Telegraph have reported that Channel Nine’s Steve Jacobs has split with wife Rosie.
A source close to the couple allegedly told Confidential that they have ‘grown in different directions’.
The pair who have been married for nearly seven years, share two children together, Isabella, 6, and Francesca, 4.
‘They’ve grown in different directions’: Channel Nine’s Steve Jacobs ‘SPLITS with wife Rosie’ after nearly seven years of marriage
Confidential reports on Sunday that Steve, 51, and Rosie, 39, decided to part ways last year.
‘They’ve grown in different directions and want different things in life now,’ a friend of the husband and wife was alleged to have told the publication.
The insider went on to claim: ‘Steve and Rosie had such a public image of the perfect happy family but behind the scenes there were struggles that would put strain on even the best marriage.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Steve and Rosie for comment.
Steve and Rosie met on Channel Nine’s the Today show in 2007 and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Bali, in 2010.
The media stars share two daughters together Isabella and Francesca.
Following his retirement as a weather presenter on the weekday Today show in early last year, Steve and his family relocated to Vanuatu.
Steve tearfully farewelled the weekday Today show team in January last year, after 12 years of presenting the weather.
‘For the past 12 years, I haven’t been able to wake up once with my wife, haven’t been able to get the kids to daycare,’ he said.
‘After 12 years I’ve decided to hang up my boots from Monday to Friday, but the good news is… Mark Calvert (Today executive producer) has come up with a great program to make my work more flexible so I can stay with you guys.’
Steve had previously described his role on Today as ‘gruelling’ and ‘exhausting’.
‘If you love what you do, and I do, then you just deal with the hours, I don’t want to be doing anything else,’ he told news.com.au in 2015.
