At 55, Hirons decided to open up about the end of her long-term marriage. In her Instagram post, she clarified the nature of their separation. “Yes, we are separated,” she stated. “No, we are not getting divorced in the foreseeable future. No, that does not mean we will get back together. We will not.”

Addressing her followers’ potential questions, Caroline assured them that she will continue to use her married name and is not seeking a new relationship at this time. “No, I am not ‘looking for a man’,” she affirmed, adding, “No, I do not ‘hate him’. No, I will not be going into detail. No, I am not changing my name.”

By sharing this news, Hirons has provided her fans with a glimpse into her personal life, while also setting clear boundaries regarding her privacy and future plans.

She said: ‘No I am not ‘looking for a man’. No I do not ‘hate him’. No I will not be going into detail. No I am not changing my name.

‘I’ve been a Hirons longer than I was a Holmes. It’s the name of my family, my kids and my grandkids. My name is Caroline Hirons. The end. Please leave my kids alone.’

Beauty star Caroline Hirons revealed she has split from her husband after 32 years of marriage

The This Morning star took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the major life update after separating from husband Jim

Speaking during a two-hour Instagram live, the beauty expert said: ‘Guys, Jim and I are not together. It’s not new news, we haven’t really gone to town about it.

‘You’re never going to see a big f***ing one of those woers us post on Insta, with pictures of us through the years, and we had such a wonderful life together, and we’re moving forward together. It’s a typical divorce; we communicate when we need to. He’s the father of my children, and therefore, I’m not going to talk badly about him.

‘Obviously, if we still loved each other in that way, we’d still be together. So I wish him the best but I can’t tell you what he’s like because I don’t see the man.’

However, Caroline laughed as she mentioned that her now ex-husband had recently texted her. ‘We have to talk about things, we have a whole family together,’ she explained.

Before adding: ‘We have to talk, it’s not like blocking him.’ Caroline was also quick to assure fans that it was ok to ask her about her divorce.

She went on to explain that a relative of hers knew the truth behind the split, explaining she ‘knows where the bodies are buried.’ 

Reflecting on her life dating Jim, Caroline said: ‘He met Scousers for the first time, and my uncle Derek, who is beloved and loves me and loved my mum, I think he said something along the lines of ‘Don’t hurt her’, and Jim, of course, was a bit ‘How dare he?”

Caroline said of her uncle’s joke: ‘He got a bit offended in his London way. And my uncle Ian went ‘They’ll be picking pieces of your body out of the Mersey…’ 

She added that she ‘never took anyone home’ apart from Jim.

Caroline, who made her This Morning debut in 2019, shared a sweet post two years ago to mark three decades of marriage to Jim.

At the time, she joked: ’30 years hitched and counting… do we get a prize?’

She wrote: ‘Yes we are separated. No we are not getting divorced in the foreseeable. No that does not mean we will get back together. We will not’

Caroline went on to explain that she will be keeping her married name and that she is not ready to start dating again

Speaking during a two-hour live, she said: ‘If we still loved each other in that way, we’d still be together. So I wish him the best but I can’t tell you what he’s like because I don’t see the man’

Caroline found fame in 2014, as the mum of four and former Saturday girl at Harvey Nichols, was in her bedroom trying to film one of her very first home videos to upload to YouTube about her specialist subject: skincare. 

As she tried to talk into the microphone, two of her three sons started fighting with each other in the garden.

‘I turned and shouted out of the window, ‘Can you shut up?’ like any mother would, and it all got recorded,’ she recalls.

Later Caroline asked husband Jim, if she should leave that clip in. ‘He said, ‘I’m not sure, love.’ 

I thought my blog readers might relate to me screaming at my kids, because every mother does it.’ 

So the clip stayed in and, sure enough, her viewers loved it. ‘The comments were all along the lines of, ‘Oh my God, finally someone who’s normal on YouTube!’
