Danny Cipriani's estranged wife Victoria has revealed her life hasn't turned out the way she 'anticipated' and detailed 'overcoming dark moments' as she reflected over the last twelve months.

It comes after she and her rugby star ex-husband called time on their marriage last month, after two years. "Victoria and I sat together this weekend and agreed to separate after 4 years of marriage.

"Whilst we've had some wonderful times together, we've also recognised we're on different journey's and whilst this is sad news, it's also a new chapter for us both to pursue our own happiness. I only wish the best for Victoria and her children," the 36-year-old sports personality said at the time.

The former couple didn't have children together, however, Victoria is a mum to two kids, and had her first child, Jade, when she was 14. In a poignant post shared on her Instagram page on Friday, Victoria confessed she's 'never had the space to love herself' and candidly admitted she has 'suffered over the last few weeks.' She posted a black and white selfie of herself smiling with her dogs and reflected on overcoming some 'dark moments' in a lengthy caption.

She penned: "Life didn't turn out as I had anticipated this year; however, next year, it will. I wanted to share what I've learned this year with you all because I think my story will help many, and I intend to help many.

"We all live on auto-pilot, on to the next thing without ever showing love and gratitude for the moment. If I could use the knowledge, love and peace I've found within myself to rewrite my story, it would be a different tale.

"I've spent these past few weeks looking at myself in the reflection, and boy, was it TOUGH! The truth is, I was severely lacking in most areas of my life; despite what I portrayed, I never felt like the best mum, wife or friend. I never it in my heart because I could only love from the capacity I loved myself, and in truth, that wasn't much. I had all this love thrown at me in all different directions to the point where I never had space to love myself.

"I had allowed all the experience of pain in the past to dictate my future, to overshadow my being in the present moment. I was a stress head; I was reactive and impulsive and constantly worrying about all the situations that could happen in the future, not realising that right now was all we ever had. I never lived in the moment, in truth or alignment. I was a feminine woman living in total masculine energy. I was ultimately out of sync. It's ridiculous when you think this is how we live daily, in complete fear and hiding our true selves.

"We choose to pick fear over love. These last few weeks, I've suffered, and I allowed it. I allowed myself to feel everything I needed to walk through the darkness. I've had some dark moments. I have had the best people by my side, walking me through the darkness, too. The gratitude I feel for them fills my heart with love, because, indeed, in moments of pain, the universe reveals to you who your people are. Love is everything."
