Love Actually star Martine McCutcheon‘s real-life love story has come to an end.
The actress announced Aug. 22 that she and husband Jack McManus have split, adding that it was his desire to call it quits on their marriage.
“After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together,” McCutcheon wrote on her Instagram Stories, “and I accept his decision.”
The 48-year-old continued, “We are both so very blessed and grateful for our beautiful, 9 year old son Rafferty, [whose] happiness and welfare, has always been, and will continue to be, our number 1 priority. We both of course, still cherish and look forward to being parents together to our wonderful boy for the rest of our lives.”
McCutcheon said that while the decision to end their marriage “has evolved over a period of time, we are still finding our new way forward as a family and kindly ask for some privacy at this time…especially for our little boy.”
