‘But they know in the long run it is the right decision.
‘They have been together for almost 30 years, and while they love and care for each other, things have changed.’
It’s believed that ‘things came to a head recently’ for Strictly’s longest-standing couple.
‘They’ve had some open and honest discussions about their future over the past few months and have now decided that the best option is for them to separate.’
Ola has reportedly removed her wedding ring, as well as her engagement ring from James’s proposal in 2001.
‘Their focus now is on Ella and keeping things settled for her.’
In an additional statement, James and Ola’s manager, Vickie White, confirmed: ‘It is with great sadness that I can confirm that James and Ola began a trial separation some time ago.
‘Their shared priority remains co-parenting their daughter, Ella, and they are committed to putting her well-being first.
