Fans of radio hosts Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama have reacted with shock and sadness to their unexpected split.
The well-known couple, who host The Hits breakfast show, made the announcement on air this morning - and were offered support from sympathetic listeners.
"There's still a lot of love between us after so many years of marriage. We were hoping to say we've 'consciously uncoupled' but quickly realised that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had already used that - let's just run with it and hope they don't see.
"We're happy, loving and the best of friends. We absolutely love working together - even after getting up at 3am for so many years (and there will be many more!) We are still so committed to our family and our listening family."
A caller named Tessa said that Gillespie and Kereama had been courageous in publicly announcing their separation.
