In very sad news, former Home and Away star Dan Ewing is reportedly splitting from his wife of four years, Marni.
But far from being a sudden bombshell, according to reports in the Daily Mail, the pair have actually been separated for a few months now, keeping the news a secret for the sake of their nearly two-year-old son Archer.
A source close to the couple confirmed the split to the Daily Mail, but suggested they would remain on good terms to co-parent together.
This comes after several savvy social media users spotted Marni posting photos of herself sans wedding ring.
Where did it all go so wrong? The couple were rarely pictured without smiles from ear to ear.
One of several posts recently where Marni isn’t wearing her ring.
In the latest photo, the 32-year-old is taking some time out for herself and relaxing on the beach, with her hand noticeably bare of the diamond sparkler Dan proposed with.
More tellingly perhaps, the pair’s social media accounts paint a picture of an ended romance.
Dan, usually gushing in his praise of his wife and too happy to share their love with his followers, has scaled back his regular uploads.

Meanwhile Marni’s account speaks of someone who’s been single for a while, with the mum-of-one not having posted any photos of husband at all in nearly six months.
The pair have had a rocky relationship, with Marni publicly declaring she suffered a miscarriage in 2013, stating “I yesterday learnt that I had lost my angel. We spent all day mourning our loss… The baby I had wanted for so long had left us.”
Seems like Dan is a bachelor once more.
Then, back in 2011, The Sunday Telegraph reported that the former Home and Away star was accused of assaulting his then-fiancee, with police allegedly called to their home and finding Marni “distressed” and with “superficial injuries to her arm”.
The charges were later dropped.
While the pair have yet to comment on the split, the source insisted to Daily Mail that the split would be an amicable one.
