Cabinet minister Michael Gove has finally addressed the bombshell claims made by his ex-wife Sarah Vine in her explosive new memoir, describing their marriage as "hell". The revelations have sent shockwaves through Westminster, with Gove opting for a restrained response.
The Political Power Couple's Turbulent Past
In her forthcoming book for the Daily Mail, Vine - a prominent columnist - paints a devastating portrait of their 20-year marriage, which ended in 2020. The memoir reportedly details numerous explosive arguments and personal struggles behind closed doors of what appeared to be Westminster's golden couple.
Gove's Measured Response
When pressed for comment by reporters, the Leveling Up Secretary maintained his characteristic composure: "Sarah is entirely entitled to tell her story in her own way," Gove stated diplomatically. "I wish her every success with the book."
Political observers note this marks Gove's first public remarks about Vine's memoir since extracts began circulating in media circles. The couple, who married in 2001, have two children together.
A Marriage Under the Microscope
The revelations come at a sensitive time for Gove, who remains one of the Conservative Party's most recognizable figures. Sources close to the minister suggest he's determined to keep the focus on his political work rather than personal matters.
Meanwhile, publishing insiders predict Vine's memoir will be one of the political books of the year, offering unprecedented insight into the pressures of maintaining both a high-profile marriage and careers at the heart of British politics.
