Phillip Schofield may have stepped away from his marriage publicly, but his connection with estranged wife Stephanie remains far from broken.
The former This Morning presenter, 63, came out as gay in 2020 after 27 years of marriage, praising Stephanie for standing by him during one of the most difficult moments of his life. The couple share two daughters, Molly and Ruby, who have also remained an important source of support.
Although Phillip and Stephanie now live separate lives, they are still closely linked both personally and financially. Reports suggest Phillip continues to wear his wedding ring, spends time at the family home, and remains involved in business with Stephanie through their shared company, Fistral Productions.
Recent company filings reportedly show the business holds more than £2 million in net equity, with Stephanie continuing to play a role in signing off accounts.
The bond between the pair has endured despite years of public turmoil, including Phillip’s exit from This Morning in 2023 following his admission of an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger colleague.
Phillip has spoken openly about the pain his actions caused his family, especially Stephanie, whom he has described with deep affection and regret.
His Channel 5 comeback on Cast Away offered viewers a more emotional glimpse into his private struggles, with Phillip crediting his daughters for helping him through his darkest moments.
While their marriage may no longer look the same, Phillip and Stephanie’s story shows that decades of love, family and shared history are not easily undone.
