Overview
- The announcement was confirmed in identical Instagram posts by Alexis Warr and her husband Jake Burton on Tuesday, June 23, saying they have made the decision to separate.
- Their statement described the split as made “after much consideration” and “with the greatest respect for each other,” adding it was reached “with a huge amount of love.”
- Both asked for privacy, said they would not comment further, and thanked supporters as they said they would navigate the change away from public scrutiny.
- Warr, 26, married her childhood sweetheart Burton in November 2018 and the couple regularly marked relationship milestones on social media before the announcement.
- The news comes as Warr, who joined Strictly Come Dancing’s professional line-up in 2025 and finished as joint runner-up with George Clarke, prepares to return to the show for its 2026 series and is likely to keep publicity limited while she continues her professional commitments.
