NATASHA Kaplinsky and her husband of 20 years are divorcing.
The former BBC One Breakfast presenter – who won the first series of Strictly Come Dancing – has separated from her investment banker husband Justin Bower.
The couple told the Daily Mail: “We can confirm that we have made the joint decision to end our marriage and our focus now is on our children.”
They married in 2005 just three months after their whirlwind romance began.
“Natasha is devastated,’ a friend told the Mail.
“It’s very sad. They are doing their best to concentrate on their children.”
In 2023, Natasha told how she hoped to soon renew their wedding vows.
“I’d love to,” she said.
“We did go to our local church on our tenth wedding anniversary with renewal in mind, but our children were screeching, so we’ve put it off for a bit.”
In May, they put their ski chalet in the French Alps on the market for £2.7million.
The property, which they owned for more than a decade, has five bedrooms, a sauna, a massage room and a wine cellar.
They have been living on a farm in Sussex with their two teenage children, alongside two pygmy goats, three sheep, nine alpacas and a cow called Mabel.
