Considered as one Australia’s golden media couples, the split has come as shock to those around them.
“With a heavy heart, CHIC Talent Management client Sophie Falkiner and radio executive Tony Thomas have announced their separation,” the pair said in an statement to news.com.au.
“The high profile couple have enjoyed a long and happy 14 years of marriage, but both feel that journey has now reached its end.”
The statement continued, “As a former presenter on The Great Outdoors and Wheel of Fortune, Sophie is one of Australia’s most recognisable faces. She will continue to be represented by CHIC Talent Management. Tony will continue his management role at Nova Entertainment.”
“The couple are now focused on their two young children and they thank close family and friends for all of the support and kindness in recent times.
“They have asked that their privacy be respected as they work their way through this difficult period,” they concluded, advising there will be no further comment on their separation.
Last week Sophie, 41, made an appearance at Derby Day and celebrated the Melbourne Cup with close friends.
Sophie and Tony have been a couple for over 16 years, and were recently spotted enjoying a holiday in LA and Hawaii with their 10-year-old daughter Isabella, and six year-old son, Jack.
