Two years after she split from her husband of 17 years<\/a>, Davina McCall has broken her silence on the breakdown of her marriage.<\/p>\n

Describing the situation as causing \u2018emotional turmoil\u2019, the popular presenter \u2013 who split with Matthew Robertson in November 2017 \u2013 said that while she and Matthew successfully co-parent their three kids now, divorce is a \u2018traumatic\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n

The star has been dating<\/a> celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas<\/a> since last year, however she\u2019s yet to officially, publically, announce she\u2019s in a relationship.<\/p>\n

She told You magazine<\/a>: \u2018I will never sit here and go into great details [on her relationship with Michael]. And the reason for that is all down to respect. I have a huge amount of respect for Matthew, I have respect for my children and the same goes for Michael\u2019s family.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking on her split from Matthew, she continued: \u2018Going through a divorce is a traumatic experience and it is something that needs to be navigated as carefully as possible.<\/p>\n

\u2018Two years on, we have both grown as people,\u00a0and we can now co-parent happily and acknowledge that it was the right thing for us\u00a0to go through, even though it involved absolute emotional turmoil.\u2019<\/p>\n

Davina and Matthew are parents to three children \u2013 Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13.<\/p>\n

They confirmed their split in a statement, admitting that \u2018our amazing children are our number one priority, above everything else so therefore we ask for as much space and respect from the media as possible while our family goes through this difficult time\u2019.<\/p>\n

In May last year the rumourmill began to claim Davina and Michael had started a relationship after 19 years of being friends, after they were seen holding hands at the Chelsea Flower Show.<\/p>\n

However while she\u2019s evidently buzzing with happiness as of late, she\u2019s keen to keep her lips sealed on her love life out of respect for those not in the public eye.<\/p>\n
