A month after TV presenter Lauren Phillips confirmed she had separated from her husband of 12 months, Lachlan Spark, one half of the former glamour couple has made a surprise return to social media.

After a long hiatus from online networks, Spark, who recently completed the Antarctic Ice Marathon, appeared last week on dating sites Tinder and Bumble.

Spark confirmed they were his profiles on Saturday but said he was far from back in the dating game.

“Lauren and I made a commitment to each other that we were going to look after each other … that is still my goal. We had a great relationship for a long time,” Spark said.

“I am absolutely not looking for a new partner. I have only joined these things a few days ago.

“It is completely innocuous being on these things (apps), I am enjoying chatting to human beings again that are in my immediate circle. It is just trying to get reconnected to the world.”

He said the breakdown of his marriage was a private matter.

“Lauren is an amazing human being, she is phenomenal,” he said.

LAUREN PHILLIPS’ LAVISH FLINDERS WEDDING

“She is the best person I have ever come across by a country mile, but we are both unique individuals and sometimes the differences can come between two people who have a great relationship.”

The couple wed at Flinders in December 2017, with the lavish reception inspired by the nuptials of Pippa Middleton. The bride wore two custom-made Con Ilio gowns on the day.

Phillips met Spark in 2012 after her 2010 split from footy superstar Gary Ablett Jr. They were engaged during a trip to Rottnest Island in early 2016.

They confirmed their shock split last month.

Phillips is part of Channel 9’s Australian Open coverage.
