The presenter posted a statement on Instagram sharing the sad news.
“It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,” the statement started.
She added: “Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.”
Jesse – the son of Rollings Stones star Ronnie Wood – is yet to comment.
Op to remove benign tumours
The split news comes after Fearne shared her health news.
Davina McCall was among many celebrities who rushed to extend support to Fearne after she revealed doctors had found two benign tumours in her jaw.
Fearne, 43, took to her Instagram earlier this month (December 3) to tell fans about her condition. She said she would be taking a break from social media during her recovery.
Davina, who recently underwent surgery to have a benign tumour removed from her brain, was quick to wish her pal a speedy recovery.
Fearne Cotton shares health update after tumour diagnosis
Ahead of her surgery, Fearne told her fans that she wasn’t going to be online “for a while” as she focuses on her recovery.
“I’ve got a benign tumour just on my jaw below my ear. Another little tiny one above it. I’m grateful they’re benign. They need to come out because they’re on a nerve,” she said.
She said she hoped to get better before Christmas following her surgery. “I’m going into the operation feeling good and well. I’m going to catch up on a lot of TV while I’m on the other side of it,” Fearne said. She also assured fans that her podcast would carry on as usual.
Urging her followers to never ignore any lump or bump on their body, Fearne used the opportunity to give a shout out to Davina.
“It’s obviously so weird that only a couple of months ago Davina told me about her tumour and then weeks later I was calling her having discovered mine.
“I’m not only lucky she’s a bloody good mate but also a beacon of light and positivity when it comes to this stuff. Sending you all loads of love and I’ll see you soon.”
