Channel Seven newsreader Amber Laidler and her AFL star husband Jeremy split after eight years
The pair, who tied the knot in 2017, have quietly parted ways, according to The Daily Telegraph but are continuing to co-parent their son Will, who they welcomed in early 2022.
Despite the split, the former couple are understood to still be living under the same roof at their family home in Sydney's east for the sake of their young child.
Eagle-eyed fans were the first to pick up on signs of trouble, with Amber noticeably absent from Jeremy's Instagram feed since November 2023, while he hasn't made a cameo on her profile since December that year.
Adding further fuel to the speculation, Amber has been spotted without her wedding ring on several occasions in recent months.

Amber has made a name for herself as a reporter at Seven News after stepping away from the beauty pageant circuit.
She won Miss World Australia in 2011, before going on to study journalism.
She graduated from Macleay College in 2017 and now works as a TV reporter for Seven News.
During her time with Seven, Amber has worked as an Assistant Chief of Staff and even a producer and reporter for Sunrise.
Jeremy, who played 87 AFL games across stints with Geelong, Carlton and the Sydney Swans, retired in 2017 and has since focused on life away from the spotlight.
The couple tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony in November 2017 and became parents five years later, welcoming their son Will eight weeks premature in January 2022.
Amber announced Will's birth on Instagram on January 19, sharing a photo of the tiny baby boy with a nasal cannula.
'Our darling boy Will Richie Laidler who simply couldn't wait any longer and joined us eight weeks early yesterday afternoon,' she wrote at the time.
'He'll now spend a few weeks in the special care nursery while we try to understand how it's possible to love one tiny human so very, very much.'
Jeremy also shared a photo of their sleeping son hooked up to a series of wires shortly after his arrival.
'The most incredible (and obviously impatient) little boy that brought so much joy [to] our lives already. Amber did such an amazing job and I could not be more proud of her!!' the retired Australian rules footballer wrote.

Aussie family in hysterics over aunt's embarrassing mistake with common household item: 'Expensive error'
A woman captured the amusing moment her aunt mistook an Apple MacBook for a chopping board - leaving the family in hysterics. Bree Tomasel, an Aussie radio host living in New Zealand, shared the video on social media showing her Aunty Shirl being called out by a family member for slicing papaya on his brand new, expensive laptop. 'Jesus Christ that's my laptop, it's not a freaking cutting board,' he screamed. 'Christ. It's a bloody brand new MacBook.' Aunty Shirl's jaw dropped the moment she realised her mistake as the man shook his head in disbelief and jokingly said, 'Hopeless'. Bree can be heard laughing uncontrollably behind the camera as her mum Di gasped in horror: 'Oh my God'. Despite the mix-up, Aunty Shirl couldn't contain her laughter as everyone saw the funny side. 'Aunty Shirl used a MacBook as a cutting board... accidentally,' Bree said in the caption, adding the hashtag: #okboomer. The video was originally posted in December 2019 but it has been making the rounds on social media again in recent days, racking up more than 1.3 million views. 'That cutting board had to cost a lot,' one suggested. 'Omg I can't stop laughing,' another shared. 'Lucky you caught her before she chucked it in the dishwasher,' one joked. 'Cutting Edge Technology,' another joked in light of the situation. 'In her defense, it literally has an apple on it,' one pointed out. The video has gone viral once again, with Specsavers chiming in: 'Hey', a nod to its famous slogan, 'Should've gone to Specsavers.' Many saw the funny side to the situation, with one suggesting: 'At her age she can do whatever the heck she wants she deserves it! Keep laughing, it keeps you young.' Others pointed out the laptop should never have been left on the kitchen counter. 'Why did you leave it on the kitchen bench in the first place?' one asked, laughing. 'To be fair, that's a kitchen not an office,' another added. Meanwhile, many people shared their own experiences of family members, friends or acquaintances mistaking everyday items. 'One of my uncles did this after he saw an apple and assumed it was a chopping board,' one revealed. 'An old lady put a burning candle on my sister's iPad once because she "thought it was a mirror",' another shared.

Double delight for Matildas fans as two of the team's stars drop huge news about their love lives
Matildas fans are cheering this week after the heartwarming news that both Clare Wheeler and Alex Chidiac have experienced happy milestones with the loves of their lives. Wheeler, who plays for Everton in the UK, announced her engagement to partner Jeremy with an Instagram post on Monday. Sharing a photo of herself showing off a sparkling ring alongside Jeremy on an Italian beach, Wheeler captioned the photo with six digits: '17.07.25'. The news sparked a wave of Australian teammates rushing to congratulate the newly engaged couple. Mary Fowler posted: 'Yayyy congrats you cuties.' Hayley Raso wrote: 'No way, this is sooooo beautiful. Congrats you two.' Teagan Micah posted: 'Screaming! So happy for you both.' Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory star Chidiac tied the knot with her long-term partner Erin. The A-League star posted a series of photos from the ceremony at the Sun Theatre in Melbourne's inner-west, which left her Matildas teammates overjoyed. 'Congratulations you two! Looked amazing,' posted Courtney Vine. 'Love it Chids, so happy for you both,' wrote Emily Gielnik. The dual celebrations come at an interesting time for the Matildas after some mixed results so far in 2025. However, new coach Joe Montemurro is confident the team will be ready for the 2026 Asian Cup. 'I've had less time to prepare teams for big tournaments,' Montemurro said earlier in the month. Chidiac, who plays for Melbourne Victory, also received many well wishes from teammates 'The good thing about it, we're going to have a lot of players who are in season [for the next window], so they're going to be at least physically - and from a rhythm perspective - in tune. 'That was the biggest thing over the last 20 days - you saw the players, the rhythms were up, down, everywhere. 'All of them had to be managed physically. 'We won't have that problem [next time]. So at least we can go forward with players that are ready to go.'
