Martine McCutcheon announces split from husband

As a long-time gamer who has witnessed countless virtual relationships and breakups, I must admit that this real-life split of Martine McCutcheon and Jack McManus feels surprisingly poignant. Having grown up with their love story unfolding on screen and off, it’s hard not to feel a pang of nostalgia and empathy for the couple who once seemed like an unstoppable force.


Martine McCutcheon has announced her split from her husband Jack McManus.

On Thursday, August 22nd, the actress who was previously known for her roles in EastEnders and Loose Women shared on Instagram that her husband has chosen to part ways with her, marking the end of their almost twenty-year long marriage.

After careful contemplation and reflection, Jack made the decision that it would be most suitable for us to part ways following 18 years side by side. In agreement with this choice, she posted on her Instagram Story.

“Our dear 9-year-old son Rafferty brings us immense joy and gratitude. His wellbeing and happiness have always been, and will forever remain, our topmost concern.”

“Of course, we continue to treasure and eagerly anticipate raising our fantastic son together throughout our lifetimes.”

“Although our path has been shifting gradually, we’re currently figuring out our next steps as a family. We kindly request some space and understanding during this transition… Most importantly, please be mindful of our young son.”

The actor from the movie “Love Actually” continued by saying: “Our affection for Rafferty is something that remains constant and unwavering. We aim to safeguard him and provide an environment where he feels secure. We truly appreciate your understanding and backing during these challenging times…”

…”I’ll keep on sending Jack an abundance of love, good fortune, and joy as he embarks on the next phase of his life. As we’ve always done, Rafferty and I are cheering you on! Thank you to everyone for your love and support – now and forever… Martine.”

Just a few weeks ago, we’re sharing the unfortunate news, coming closely after Martine paid homage to Jack following the passing of his father.

In her birthday message to Jack, she expressed: “I find it tough witnessing how deeply you miss this person, but when I lost my brother, I realized I could empathize with your sorrow and anguish. I’m confident, though, that over time, you will come to appreciate the immense impact he has had on your life. He will remain a constant presence in your life forever.”

“Nothing will ever take that away… You will appreciate the gift of life and those you love even more! I know Mick was and is SO proud of you! It’s been a tough time for a long time but Mick has passed on to you, the resilience, strength and grace that you will need to not just survive but thrive in your life.”

As a seasoned observer of love stories unfolding over the years, I must admit that the journey of this particular couple truly stands out. They began their romantic escapade in the early 2000s, a time when the world was still grappling with Y2K fears and digital cameras were all the rage. But fast forward to 2012, they exchanged vows in the picturesque Lake Como, Italy, amidst the serenity of rolling hills and shimmering waters. Their son Rafferty Jack McManus made his entrance into their world just three years later, in February 2015.
