Now 51-year-old Steve finished up his weekday weather duties for breakfast show Today at the end of 2016 after a decade in the role.

The estranged couple met in 2007 on set of the Today show and were married in Bali in 2010. It was Jacobs’ second marriage.

“Steve and Rosie had such a public image of the perfect happy family but behind the scenes there were struggles that would put strain on even the best marriage. Sadly ... they separated last year — a decision that has been incredibly hard for them both but for the best in the long run.”

The source added: “They both love their children and neither of them regrets the move to Vanuatu. For now they have decided to remain living there, where the girls are in school. So many people give up on their relationships at the first sign of struggle but Steve and Rosie both tried really hard for a long time before reaching this point.”
