Ant on September 26 posted a picture of the pair, implying that the split came at Christina’s request.
‘Anyone who really knows me knows that I don’t like to share private matters publicly,’ he said. ‘I have remained silent while holding on to hope. I never gave up on us. I pray Christina’s decision brings her happiness.’
Christina also shares daughter Taylor, 10, and and son Brayden, five, with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, while Anstead is father to Amelie, 17, and Archie, 14, from this previous marriage to Louise Herbert.
