Former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield has spoken candidly about his separation from his wife, Stephanie Lowe, following his decision to publicly come out as gay in 2020. The TV star revealed the emotional toll the split took on both of them, as well as his journey towards self-acceptance.
A Heartfelt Revelation
Schofield, who had been married to Lowe for nearly 30 years, admitted that the decision to end their marriage was incredibly difficult. "It was the hardest conversation I've ever had," he shared. "Steph has been unbelievably supportive, but it wasn’t fair to either of us to continue living a lie."
Life After Coming Out
Since publicly announcing his sexuality, Schofield has faced both support and scrutiny. He acknowledged the challenges of navigating his new reality while in the public eye. "There’s a sense of relief, but also a lot of adjustment," he said. "I’m still learning to be my authentic self."
Moving Forward
Despite the personal upheaval, Schofield remains optimistic about the future. He expressed gratitude for the love and understanding he has received from fans and colleagues. "I’m taking it one day at a time," he added. "This is just the beginning of a new chapter."
