MICHAEL Gove is splitting from his wife Sarah Vine after 20 years of marriage.
The couple have “agreed to separate” and are “in the process of finalising their divorce”.
Friends said the pair had drifted apart and there was no one else involved in the split.
Ms Vine is a columnist and writer for the Daily Mail, and the pair married in 2001 and have two kids.
She wrote last week, in a piece about former health secretary Matt Hancock’s resignation, about how Westminster life can drive a wedge between partners.
A spokesperson for the couple said this evening: “Michael and Sarah have agreed to separate and they are in the process of finalising their divorce.
“They will continue to support their two children and they remain close friends.
“The family politely ask for privacy at this time and will not be providing any further comment.”
A friend of the couple said: “This is a difficult and sad decision for Michael and Sarah after twenty years of marriage.
“It is an entirely amicable separation and there is no one else involved. They have drifted apart over the past couple of years but they remain friends. Their absolute priority is the children.”
