Emmerdale's Charley Webb 'ignoring life' after Matthew Wolfenden split claims

Charley Webb says she's "ignoring life" amid swirling split rumours.

The Emmerdale actress and her co-star husband Matthew Wolfenden are embroiled in claims they're ready to break-up, with insiders saying they're living "separate lives". Sources reckon their relationship has been on the rocks for months after 15 years together, first meeting on the ITV set all the way back in 2007.

Rumours have swirled about past unfaithfulness, social media snubbing, and being spotted out in public without wedding rings have left many fans fearing the celebrity couple may have called time on their marriage entirely. Matthew, 43, and Charley, 35, who are also proud parents to three children, tied the knot in 2018.

Now, amid claims, Charley has taken to social media to update followers on her life, seemingly making reference to the accusations. Posing for a baseball cap selfie, she penned: "Ignoring life and all the jobs I need to do. Also, I want more piercings."

Charley played loveable businesswoman Debbie Dingle on the long-running ITV soap from 2002 until 2021. While Matthew has been playing David Metcalfe since 2006 and he will bow out next year. As well as being husband and wife, Matthew and Charley are also a proud mum and dad. The couple share a son named Buster born in April 2010, a second son named Bowie who was born in December 2015, and a third son named Ace who was born in July 2019.

The pair have allowed fans and social media followers into their family life, frequently sharing updates, photos and videos of their three sons. Charley has also shared her parenting struggles - with many praising her for her down-to-earth approach.

Matthew and Charley’s marriage has been tested over the years - with reports suggesting Matthew hadn’t always been loyal. In 2013, he was embroiled in a cheating scandal. A fan named Klaire Holloway stepped forward to claim she enjoyed a one-night stand with the soap star when he was 33 and not yet married to Charley.

She told the Sun on Sunday at the time: "He was very affectionate but the sex was nothing to write home about. It wasn't very exciting and I got bored." Meanwhile, Matthew dodged the scandal at the time, tweeting at the time of the news breaking: "Is it just me or does anyone else not sleep properly when there's a full moon?!"

Reports emerged at the beginning of November 2023 that Matt and Charley had split and were living separate lives. Fans noticed that Matthew ‘unfollowed’ his wife on Instagram - while she had been snapped being out and about without her wedding ring on.

Charley was spotted arriving at the Theatre Royal in Norwich with her hands concealed - but when she did reveal her fingers, her wedding rings were noticeably on her right hand, rather than her left. Meanwhile, sources close to the couple hinted that the marriage had come to an end.

One told The Sun: "Charley and Matthew were in very different places in their lives when they first got together. Three kids later and with new careers in the mix, everything has changed and perhaps they are no longer the unit they once were."
