Irish model and DJ Vogue Williams and former Westlife singer Brian McFadden have announced they will be going their separate ways after almost three years of marriage.

Williams broke the news on Twitter on Tuesday night saying, “It is with sadness that Brian and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways,” she wrote.

“We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and wish each other all the very best for the future.”

She continued: “We have nothing else to say on the subject and we would like to thank our friends and family for their support during this difficult period. Vogue x”.

The pair told Ryan Tubridy during an appearance on the Late Late Show they first met in 2011 at Dublin's Crystal nightclub (click on the link to watch the full interview).

McFadden later took to the social networking site releasing a similar statement, but replacing his name in place of Vogue's.

In April the 35-year-old Real to Me singer gushed about his 29-year-old wife, saying she was his "soulmate" and describing their first encounter as love at first sight.

"We instantly clicked and talked non stop for eight hours the night we met and I proposed eight months after," he said.

The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish Tuscan ceremony in Italy in September 2012,  were living in London and signed a deal to buy a house in Howth, Co. Dublin last month.
