Jeff Brazier has finally revealed the surprising reason behind his separation from wife Kate.

Taking to his Instagram handle on Tuesday, the English television presenter said he and his wife decided to end their seven-year marriage after discovering they "couldn't make each other happy."

"I'm so full of love and gratitude for Kate," he began the lengthy note while sharing a throwback photo from a family holiday.

"For all we achieved, for how much we grew, for everything we endured," he penned. "We separated in the summer and kept it private for as long as we could to give us some time to adjust."

The 46-year-old presenter continued, "For 12 years we have been each others safe space, each others biggest supporters at a time when our lives have been busy, painful & complex."

"I'm so proud of how hard we worked, how we kept showing up, we gave everything and more," he added. "I'm also so full of respect and admiration for the successful career Kate has built and the way she cared for me unconditionally."

Jeff further told his fans that Kate is still in touch with him to check in on how his sons are doing. For those unversed, the TV presenter is the father of two sons, Freddy and Bobby, whom she welcomed with his previous marriage to Jade Goody. 

"It’s credit to the woman she is that she still checks in to ask how the boys are doing because she is so invested in their lives," said Jeff.

"They love her and I have many friends that love her too. I will miss her family who always went above and beyond to support us," he added. "My words don’t tell the full picture because they don’t need to. We will carry on supporting each other and I know I’ll be celebrating her inevitable wins just like before."

Concluding the statement, Jeff wrote, "We both deserve complete happiness and we’re upset that we ultimately couldn’t be that for one another and It felt time to let it go."

For those unversed, Jeff and Kate exchanged vows on September 15, 2018.
