Phillip Schofield 'set to divorce wife Steph and share his £9million fortune'

Phillip Schofield reportedly will get a divorce from his wife Steph.

Claims emerged This Morning's presenter, 58, will share his £9m fortune with his wife, 56, of nearly 27 years.

Steph gave her unwavering public support to her husband Phil as he come out as gay on This Morning earlier this year.

It's claimed the TV presenter is in no rush to meet someone new.

His family - including their two grown up daughters Molly and Ruby - remain his number one priority.

A source told The Sun: “Phillip and Steph have had a lot of hard, painful conversations over the past ten months but remain as tight and devoted to one another as ever.

“She has been so supportive, and he won’t skip off into the sunset now and abandon her. At the same time, he has no desire to become embroiled in a bitter and costly divorce battle.

“Phillip is in no hurry to meet someone new, but obviously the D word has now been mooted, albeit in very loose and casual terms. His earning power is at an all-time high, and Steph is entitled to half.

“He is not disputing this — all he wants in return is her ongoing loyalty... and discretion. His family is his No1 priority and that will never change.”

Mirror Online has approached Phillip Schofield's representatives for further comment.

They have been living happily together in lockdown with their grown up daughters at their £2million Oxfordshire home.

Claims surfaced the star will convert the garage at the family home into a bachelor pad.

In lockdown he's finally had the time to write the autobiography he's always wanted.

Also the family have fitted in plenty of quality time together while dressing up to play Murder Mysteries.

At the start of this year, Phil gave an impassioned speech as he come out as gay on This Morning during an interview with Holly.

He said at the time: "You never know what's going on in someone's seemingly perfect life.

"So you won't know what has been consuming me for the last few years."
