Phillip Schofield’s wife Stephanie Lowe has been left distraught following his affair with an under-30 colleague. It has been reported that Molly and Ruby, his daughters from his previous relationship, had no idea about it until he revealed it during This Morning in 2020.
In an exclusive interview, former presenter Steve Cannon revealed that Stephanie was angered by his shocking confessional and confirmed he is still legally married to her; wearing her wedding ring.
She is devastated
Stephanie Lowe is said to be shocked and distraught after Philip Schofield admitted having an affair with one of his younger colleagues on his show, known as Production Runner. Schofield later apologized for keeping this information from those close to him including his own family.
Phil recently gave an interview to The Sun where he admitted his wife was shocked when she learned about his affair and apologized for misleading friends and colleagues about it. Additionally, Phil revealed he has felt suicidal ever since the news spread of their affair.
Holly Willoughby of This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby has extended her support to Stephanie’s family. They have been close for years, attending Leigh Francis’ 50th birthday party together in April. According to reports, Stephanie was unaware of Phil’s relationship with younger man; instead she believed he was simply friends; upon hearing Phil admit to it all she was completely shocked – now trying to come to terms with her two daughters together Molly and Ruby.
She is a close friend of Holly Willoughby
Holly and Holly first became close before starting to co-present ITV shows together in 2006. First appearing together on Dancing On Ice and later as co-hosts of This Morning. Before then she had presented several children’s shows as well as smaller productions such as CBBC’s Ministry of Mayhem and Fame Academy.
Holly was there for Phil when he came out as gay in 2020, even holding his hand as he sobbed during an emotional This Morning episode. Holly also comforted him after he was dismissed as ambassador of The Prince’s Trust; the two have an excellent rapport on set; having known each other for over 17 years they currently take a break from their presenting duties so they can spend more time with their families.
Stephanie is married to Tom and together they share two daughters: Molly and Ruby. The family lives in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Stephanie previously worked as a production assistant for BBC television production while now she works for talent management agency James Grant Group.
She is a mother of two
Phillip and Diane married in 1993 and have two daughters – Molly (30) and Ruby (27) who they share with one another. Recently spotted together at an event, their relationship appears strong despite all of the drama around Phillip’s announcement that he is gay.
Schofield made his announcement of his sexuality through an emotional and open interview with Holly Willoughby on This Morning last February, where he told Willoughby about having “confusing feelings” as a teenager but suppressed them due to fear at that time. Later on though, those feelings returned and he finally told Stephanie his truth – admitting his truth being one of the hardest things he had ever had to do but she was incredible supportive throughout it all.
Stephanie has reportedly stood by her husband through this entire ordeal and does not intend to file for a divorce. Additionally, Stephanie is providing immense strength to Holly Willoughby – and their entire family in general – during this difficult period.
Phillip has stated in an interview that he isn’t bitter over his affair with a younger male colleague and does not plan to request a divorce from his wife. Instead, he has pledged his loyalty until they find a home together.
She is a TV presenter
Phillip Schofield has left his wife Stephanie reeling following his admission that he had an affair with an ITV colleague younger than himself. Schofield announced last week his decision to resign from This Morning due to this lie being told to colleagues and his agent about this relationship; Stephanie has stood by him ever since his coming out publicly as gay in 2020; thus being taken completely unaware by this news.
Friends of the couple claim that Stephanie was completely blindsided by Phil’s affair, as they always presented him as someone they trusted and considered a friend. Additionally, Phil and Stephanie share two daughters together: Molly and Ruby.
