Kate has played the role of a stepmother to his sons, Bobby and Freddy, over the past 12 years.
They tragically lost their biological mother, Jade Goody, in 2009 after her battle with cervical cancer.
The father of two, 46, took to his stories today to share some insightful thoughts about the person he’s evolving into after a challenging year.
He wrote: “Feeling incredibly reflective and just sent this to a friend, and I wanted to share.
“My perspective is that I’m accustomed to handling the heavy burdens and truly believe I can manage that while thriving at the same time.
“Life will always have its ups and downs; at this moment, the lessons are only enhancing my resources and capabilities.
“I’m currently filled with pure gratitude for the difficult experiences because they have taught me how to be genuinely safe for anyone who needs me, and that’s the man I aspire to be.”
The next story stated: “Why is being safe so crucial? Firstly, when you come from a background of trauma, safety isn’t easily found just because you’re in a new setting.
“It’s a long and arduous journey to cultivate that safety within yourself, so we don’t carry those old trauma responses throughout our lives.
“Ensuring the safety of those around you as a man isn’t merely a physical act of protection; when vulnerability and instability are present, it becomes about creating a safe space, providing an outlet, maintaining open lines of communication without judgment, and offering gentle truths when they’re overlooked.”
The star concluded: “I believe being safe also requires accepting the aspects we cannot control without attempting to lead or fix.
“I don’t need to be the solution; I just need to be a constant presence. It has taken me some time to allow myself this permission, but it’s perfectly fine that I’m okay at times when someone I care about is facing a challenge.
“I’m ready to support, but most importantly, I’m capable of coping.”
The Sun reported last month that Jeff and Kate had parted ways after seven years of marriage.
Jeff was not wearing his wedding ring while reporting for ITV from Reykjavik.
A source revealed that PR expert Kate, 35, moved out of their marital home three weeks earlier and returned to her apartment in Hackney.
Jeff himself addressed the reports on Instagram, sharing an emotional statement.
He expressed: “I’m filled with love and gratitude for Kate.
“For everything we accomplished together, for how much we grew, and for all that we endured.
“We separated in the summer and kept it private for as long as we could to give ourselves some time to adjust.
“For 12 years, we have been each other's safe haven and biggest supporters during a time when our lives have been busy, painful, and complex.
“I’m incredibly proud of how hard we both worked and how we continued to show up, giving everything we had and more.
“I also hold immense respect and admiration for the successful career Kate has built and for the unconditional care she provided me.
“It speaks volumes about the woman she is that she still checks in to see how the boys are doing because she is so invested in their lives.”
