Sheridan Smith has announced that she’s split from her partner of three years and former fiancé Jamie Horn, a year after welcoming their son Billy.
The pair released a joint statement saying, “It is with great sadness that we have decided to have some time apart.
“We both remain completely committed to raising our beautiful boy Billy together. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.”
It was just last year that Sheridan opened up exclusively to Closer about her “easy life” with Jamie, saying, “Honestly, Jamie has been looking after me so well – he’s the best. He does everything while I’m just sat at home with the dogs and baking a baby.
CHECK OUT: Gavin and Stacey cast - where are they now?
Here's what the cast of Gavin and Stacey are doing now... SLIDER with cover pic
1 of 15Gavin
2 of 15Mathew Horne - a.k.a Gavin, then
Viewers saw Mathew's character, Gavin, fall in love with Stacey pretty quickly - he drove all the way to Barry to surprise her after their night together. We saw the couple laugh, row and welcome a baby. N'aww.
3 of 15And this is him now...
Mathew's come a long way from playing good ol' Gav - he's now playing Young Mr Grace in Are You Being Served and continues to collaborate with James Corden on a number of projects which included hosting The Brits in 2009.
4 of 15Joanna Page - a.k.a Stacey, then
Joanna smashed it as Stacey; the bubbly girl from Barry who got engaged five (yes, five) times before she met the love of her life Gavin. Bless her.
5 of 15And this is her now...
Similar to her character Stacey, Joanna settled down in real life too and is now mum to three children - a daughter, Eva, and her two sons, Kit and Noah.
6 of 15James Corden - a.k.a Smithy, then
Err, James Cordon as Smithy was absolutely hilarious tbh. He kept us entertained with his dancing, love for Gavin and love/hate relationship with Nessa.
7 of 15And this is him now... (along with the star of one of his majorly successful Carpool Karaoke's, Selena Gomez)
Do we really need to fill you in on this one? No, probably not, because he's everywhere. But incase you've been in hiding under a rock for the past few years, James has been doing pretty much EVERYTHING and has a majorly successful US TV programme - The Late Late show.
8 of 15Ruth Jones - a.k.a Nessa, then
Oh, what's occurring? Need we say more? Ruth was brilliant as Nessa; fierce and hilarious and as much as we saw how happy she was with Dave, we always knew Smithy was the one that truly had her heart.
9 of 15And this is her now...
She is arguably one of the funniest Welsh people to have ever lived, and since Gavin and Stacey Ruth has lived in Cardiff with her husband and three grown-up stepchildren.The actress has also been appointed an MBE - go Ruth!
10 of 15Larry Lamb - a.k.a Mick Shipman, then
Larry is a prime example of a good actor. Despite seeing him play Archie Mitchell in EastEnders, we couldn't help but fall in love with Mick from Essex. Unlike Archie Mitchell, Mick actually loved his family...
11 of 15And this is him now...
Since Gavin and Stacey, Larry has embarked upon all kinds of work; he appeared in New Tricks and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! alongside Scarlett Moffatt.
12 of 15Alison Steadman - a.k.a Pamela Shipman, then
Alison's character Pam was probably the most iconic of them all. We loved her that she made to pretend to be a vegetarian up until the Christmas special where she finally told everyone she was eating meat - they all (minus Gwen) knew.
13 of 15And this is her now...
Since Gavin and Stacey ended, Alison has appeared in Orphan Black in 2015 and currently lives in Highgate, London with her partner Michael Elwyn.
14 of 15Rob Brydon - a.k.a Bryn West, then
Ahh, Rob as Bryn was an absolute classic. There's so many hilarious moments of him to choose from but whenever we think of him our first thought is, of course, the Gavin and Stacey fishing trip...
15 of 15And this is him now...
Long gone are the days of Bryn as a humble telly actor. Rob has since gone on to star in Hollywood movies including The Huntsmen: Winter's War (he played Gryff) and he played Master Phineus in the real life version of Cinderella.

"We’ve been discussing [baby] names. I think all the names we’ve got so far have been pretty traditional. We thought about naming him after my dad, but my dad’s called Colin, which is a bit… Well, as much as we miss him and love him, it’s like, ‘Storm, River… Colin?!’ But you never know."
Sheridan and Jamie got engaged after just three months of dating, with Jamie getting down on one knee in May 2018.

A source told The Sun at the time, "Sheridan is head over heels in love. Jamie is very serious about her. He has introduced Sheridan to his mum already."
They went on to say that Jamie, an insurance broker, had already introduced her to his mum - and had forked out £10,000 on an engagement ring.
"She doesn’t wear the ring on her finger, she’s got a necklace. She wears it there because she doesn’t want people to see that she’s got a ring," they added.
