Hey there! It's been a while, but Martine McCutcheon is back on social media. And she's got a heartfelt message for her followers after her unexpected split from husband Jack McManus.
Last year, the news of their separation came as a shock to fans. Martine, who rose to fame as an EastEnders icon, announced that Jack had made the decision to end their 18-year-long marriage. In her statement, she made it clear that their son Rafferty, who is now 10 years old, was their top priority and that she respected her husband's choice.
Since then, Martine has been absent from social media. But now, she's returned to thank her fans for their love and support during such a difficult time. Speaking directly to the camera, she said, "I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your messages of love and support last year. They meant the world to me. I've been taking some time for myself, healing and focusing on the next chapter of my life, which I'm really excited about."
Martine also explained why she took a break from social media, saying, "I wanted to step away from all the noise and just focus on myself and my family. I'm really proud of Jack and myself for putting Rafferty first, no matter what. We also want to continue being friends even after being together for so many years."
She reassured her followers that any posts or shares she makes are not meant to be a dig at Jack. "I wouldn't do that," she said. "It's not my style. If I have something to say, I'll say it directly. I was wary of that, but I'm all good now and I'm back."
Martine and Jack tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at Lake Como in 2012, after dating for four years. Their split was announced just days after Martine had shared a loving post for Jack on his birthday, following the death of his father. She referred to him as "Darling Jack" in the post.
In her official statement, Martine had said, "After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it's best for us to separate after 18 years together, and I accept his decision. We are both grateful for our son Rafferty, who will always be our number one priority. While this decision has been in the works for some time, we are still figuring out our new path as a family. We kindly ask for privacy during this time, especially for our little boy. Our love for Rafferty will never change, and we want to protect him and make sure he feels safe and secure."
She also wished Jack all the best for his future, saying, "Rafferty and I are rooting for you!" In response to her announcement, Jack simply told the MailOnline, "There is nothing more to add. I will not be saying anything more about this."
Before her sudden split, Martine was best known for her role as the lovable Tiffany Mitchell on EastEnders from 1995 to 1998. Sadly, her character was killed off in a tragic accident, and fans were devastated to see her go.
