Following their divorce and his firing from This Morning, Phillip Schofield is rumored to be spending Christmas with his ex-wife Stephanie.
Phil,61, separated from his partner after disclosing his sexuаl orientation in 2020, but he has kept his wedding band on as a reminder of their vows.
He resigned from ITV this year after admitting to having an affair with a considerably younger coworker.
However, the ex-TV host has maintained that he and 59-year-old Stephanie Lowe “have a wonderful marriage.”
To the extent that it is believed the couple, who were married in 1993 and have two children, Ruby, 27, and Molly, 30, have planned some celebratory events together.
“Christmas is all about spending time with the people you love,” a source told Woman’s Own.
“There’s still a lot of love between Phil and Steph, even though they’re not together in the traditional sense anymore.
It makes sense that Phil and Steph would spend the special day together because they spend a lot of time together.
For the celebrity, it hasn’t exactly been a smooth year.
His former co-host and closest friend Holly Willoughby reportedly felt deceived by his behavior, and the two haven’t communicated since.
Since then, her role on the show has been under constant scrutiny, which finally led to her leaving last month.
Many viewers didn’t like Holly’s response to the scаndаl, even though she didn’t do anything wrong. They said she “threw Phil under the bus” by severing her relationship with him.
“I have let ITV know that, after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning,” she added in her resignation letter.
“Thank you so much to everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years.
This is such a hard farewell; you are amazing, and I will always be proud of the things we have accomplished together.
“I want to thank all of the ITV staff for their assistance. Thank you to everyone who has sat on our sofa.
Insiders at the broadcaster claim that Holly’s quick and unchallenged departure in a matter of hours was meticulously planned in advance of the release of a significant inquiry into the culture at This Morning, which is anticipated to be quite negаtive.
ITV executives are already searching for “the new Phil and Holly,” with unproven hosts taking over in a revised lineup starting in January.
The spokesperson at Phillips declined to respond when contacted by The Sun.
