Former Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly has split from her husband after seven years of marriage.
Katherine, who played the soap's Becky McDonald, is said to be relocating from North London back up north after separating from Australian digital analyst Ryan Clark.
The pair met in 2011 and they tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2013.
They have two daughters Orla, six, and Rose, three.
A spokesman told The Sun : “Katherine and Ryan have made the difficult decision to separate.
“They see it as a positive move for both of them and the separation is completely amicable.
“Their children are their top priority and they will continue to co-parent as good friends.”
Katherine, 40, grew up in Barnsley and Wakefield, West Yorkshire and she trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London.
She became a household name when she joined Coronation Street in 2006 as feisty Becky McDonald, who was married to Rovers Return landlord Steve until 2012.
Becky was known for her scraps with enemies Tracy Barlow and her own sister Kylie whose son Max she tried to adopt.
After Corrie Katherine has had roles in major TV shows including Happy Valley, the Night Manager, the Doctor Who spin-off series Class and she played DI Karen Renton in the second series of the ITV drama Liar.
She also played Lady Mae in Mr Selfridge.
Katherine married Ryan in a secret ceremony at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas in August 2013.
She said she had never desired a big white wedding and wanted to enjoy a low-key special day.
She and Ryan had been a couple since a New Year’s Eve party in his native Australia in 2010 and they were inspired to marry in Vegas after they enjoyed a road trip there a few months earlier.
