“Martin and I remain best friends and love each other, and it was entirely amicable, but we realised we’d come to the end of our time together,” she told Stella magazine.

However, Amanda is sad that their relationship has come to an end but lucky that it was a clean break, espeically for their kids.
“It is sad and it is upsetting because you think you’re going to be with someone forever, but you either do that or you break up.
“And we both came to the decision that splitting was best for us.
“We’ve been really lucky to make it such a clean break, especially for the kids,” she added.
