Former Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has spoken publicly for the first time about co-parenting with his ex-wife Charley Webb, admitting the pair are still 'finding their feet'. The 44-year-old appeared on Monday's Loose Women alongside co-star Roxy Shahidi to discuss their new podcast, Celebrity Side Hustles, where the conversation turned to his personal life.
Wolfenden and Webb, who played Debbie Dingle on the ITV soap, announced their separation in November after five years of marriage. They share three children: Buster, 14, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four. In a joint Instagram statement at the time, they said they 'remain friends' and their priority is the love for their children.
Speaking on Loose Women, Wolfenden said: 'I think we're still finding our way. The good thing is me and Charley we're still best mates. That's fantastic. It's all quite new to us still at the moment but we're still finding our feet, finding a way to do it and do it well. I think we are.' The couple first met on the set of Emmerdale and began dating in 2013 before marrying in 2018.
Wolfenden has since moved on with new girlfriend Heather Scott-Martin, his co-star from the stage production Elf. Earlier this year, he took to Instagram to clarify the circumstances of the split, stating: 'It was NOT my decision to end my marriage. I met Heather way after my marriage ended.' He added that he and Charley remain good friends and that their children are their life.
