The break-up In May 2018, Lucy-Jo and Alan shocked fans when they announced they were getting divorced .
Their marriage had reportedly been struggling for some time, and saw them split in 2016, before getting back together. A source told The Sun at the time: “It’s very amicable but they’ve decided to go their separate ways. “Alan’s been joking that he’s having a mid-life crisis and he went and treated himself to a brand new car five days ago.
It’s a difficult time for both of them. “They’re devastated the marriage is over but have vowed to stay friends. They still really care for each other.
” Following their split announcement, Lucy revealed: "I can confirm Al and I are in the process of divorcing. We remain friends and devoted Mummy and Daddy to our daughter Sienna." Lucy-Jo and Alan were previously said to have had an "amicable split".
However in November 2024, as Alan headed into the I'm A Celebrity jungle , it was reported they are now "barely speaking" to each other . An insider told The Sun: “Alan and Lucy-Jo still aren’t on speaking terms. “If Alan needs anything he goes through her boyfriend Lewis (Devine).
"They both want what’s best for their daughter Sienna but they won’t communicate. Things are just as bad as when they first fell out. “Alan still has a few issues with how things played out between them when they split.
” Moving on Since 2018, Lucy-Jo has been in a relationship with Lewis Devine , who she met when she was doing panto. The two initially became very good friends during their run in Snow White at the Theatre Royal in St Helens, Merseyside. Following the breakdown of her marriage, love soon blossomed with Lewis with a source telling us at the time: “Lucy-Jo and Lewis shared an instant chemistry, but obviously she was married and didn’t act on it.
“After trying for months, she and Alan called time on their marriage and something slowly developed with Lewis.” Meanwhile, Alan found love with former co-star Tisha Merry. They were together for five years until 2024 before they called time on their romance .
