Martine McCutcheon was dealt a heavy blow this summer, revealing that her husband of 12 years, Jack McManus, had called time on their near two-decade relationship. But returning to social media with a stunning selfie last week, the actress appeared brighter than ever, and a source told new this is the start of a whole new chapter for her.
"Martine is feeling stronger than ever at the moment. She's worked hard to move past the split. It was a really tough time for her, but she's out the other side now," claimed the source.
The former EastEnders star, 48, known for her roles in box office hits such as Love Actually, announced her separation from Jack in August. Sharing a statement on Instagram at the time, she wrote, "After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it's best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision. We are both so very blessed and grateful for our beautiful, nine-year-old son Rafferty, whose happiness and welfare has always been, and will continue to be, our number 1 priority."
