Radio presenter Chrissie Swan has finally confirmed her split from her partner-of-15-years, Chris Saville, following months of speculation.

The 48-year-old addressed the break-up during a wide-ranging interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly, which hit newsstands on Thursday.

Chrissie said that despite ending their romantic relationship, the former couple still live together as they co-parent their three children.

Chrissie also said they’d never once had a fight in 15 years and they remain ‘very good friends’ who ‘like each other very much’.

‘We still live together. We talk all the time. So it’s not really that different,’ Chrissie explained. 

The Nova 100 host said they will be ‘together forever’ as a family unit.

‘We are both so family-orientated and we are 100 per cent committed to those kids,’ she continued.

‘We are a really great unit, the five of us together, so it’s a great set-up and a good scenario for all of us.’   

 The Herald Sun reported in December the couple had split after 15 years together.

Although the former couple never married, Chrissie revealed back in 2016 that little Leo had been pressuring them to tie the knot.
