Fans took to Twitter in their droves, labelling the move as ‘iconic’, after Megan swapped Gwyneth and Chris’ reference to their ‘two incredibly wonderful children’ to asking her 1.8 million followers to respect their hamster’s privacy.
She wrote: ‘It is with hearts full of sadness that we decided to separate.
‘We have been working hard for well under a year, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.’
‘We are, however, and always will be a family and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost to one incredibly wonderful hamster and we ask for his and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time.
‘Decided to separate’ The star, who found herself embroiled in an ongoing feud with his DOI partner Vanessa Bauer, took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday morning to confirm the news
‘We haven really conducted our relationship that privately and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and co-parent we will be able to continue in the same manner. Love Megan and Wes,’ she continued.
Megan’s problems with Vanessa started after Wes’ debut performance two weeks ago where she accused the skater of ‘tactfully’ breaking up with her boyfriend Louis Nathaniel to gain headlines.
The blonde bombshell recently told the Loose Women panel that she stands by her belief that Vanessa’s break-up was ‘tactical’.
She also asserted her feelings that Vanessa should have reached out to her and invited her to come to Dancing On Ice training.
Addressing why she first decided to criticise Vanessa online, Megan admitted: ‘I was just really hurt, obviously. I think it’s normal, I’m not deeply insecure. I’m jealous, I am selfish.’
And while the pair have finally exchange words following the heated Instagram post, Wes revealed Megan is refusing to apologise for her scathing note.
He previously told Heart Radio: ‘It’s a lot of pressure for Megs. It’s concluded. They’ve spoken to each other. They’re happy. I don’t even know what they spoke about, I just let women get on with their women talk.’
