The couple, who lived in north London, were married in November 2011 and have two children, a son aged three and a two-year-old daughter.

‘The more you do, the closer you are to your children and I’m enjoying every minute of it,’ he said, reports The Guardian newspaper.
‘I don’t know if I would have been ready in my 30s – I’m mellower and more patient than I was.
‘There are only 19 months between Albert and Esme and my wife, Mischka, and I like that – we hope they’ll always have each other.’
Notoriously private about his personal life, Eccleston is rarely seen out with his family and often makes solo red carpet appearances on various occasions.
He shot to fame by playing the Ninth Doctor in popular sci-fi TV series Doctor Who, going on to star in various movies including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Thor: The Dark World and more recently Legend.
The British star currently appears on American drama series The Leftovers, where he plays tabloid editor Matt Jamison alongside actors Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman and Liv Tyler.
