Celebrity doctor, Eva Orsmond, has announced that she is to separate from her husband of 21 years, Wyatt.
In a joint statement issued about their separation, the pair said they will continue to co-parent their two sons 19-year-old Christopher and 17-year-old Evan and will remain in business together professionally.
"We have been married for 21 years. We have had a great life together and are blessed with two wonderful sons," the statement reads. "Now, with our boys grown up and making their own way in the world, Wyatt and I have decided to separate."
"It is with sadness that I say these words, but Wyatt and I share a deep friendship and will always be part of each other’s lives; co-parenting our sons and continuing to run our businesses together. For the sake of our family, we won’t be making any other public comments about this."
Dr Eva, who was born in Finland runs a number of weight-loss clinics around Ireland and previously appeared as a straight-talking expert on Operation Transformation.
A noted advocate for tackling obesity, she departed the series in 2014 after facing down criticism the previous year over her direct style during which she admonished one contestant, who failed to reach their target weight, to "cop on and wipe those tears".
Last year she presented a once off documentary, Sugar Crash, about the health dangers of excessive sugar consumption.
As part of the RTÉ One Autumn schedule she can next be seen in Medication Nation with Dr Eva; a one-off documentary about prescription pill addiction in Ireland.
