The Radford family is suffering a heartbreak as one of the children admits to splitting from their husband.
It comes after one of the siblings, Chloe, recently announced she had .
However, the news comes fromeldest daughter, Sophie.
In a recent Q&A, Sophie was asked by a curious fan if she was single after being married for almost ten years.
Unfortunately, the mum-of-three confirmed the hadn’t worked out.
The 31-year-old replied: “YES. That’s all that will be said on it.”;;
Sophie, who starred inChannel 5‘s ’22 Kids & Counting’ alongside her parents and 21 siblings, tied the knot with Joseph Broadley back in 2015.
The pair have three children together, Daisy Mae, 12, Ayprill Louise, 10, and Leo, nine.
Earlier in the Q&A session, Sophie was asked how she and Joe were.
When they asked, ‘How are you and Joe?’, Sophie answered: ‘How are we... TBC. Privacy’.
While she chose not to elaborate on their relationship, her Instagram handle still reads Sophoe Broadley.
But the separation may not come as a surprise to fans of the family’s TV show.
Last August, in an episode of ’22 Kids & Counting,’ Sophie broke down in tears and revealed that she had hit rock bottom.
During the run-up to her 30th birthday, she reflected on how her life had changed since becoming a mother.
She said: “Usually people in their twenties are out partying, but my twenties were very different, I had three kids, all within a year between them.
“It’s hard going, it’s definitely hard going. It’s the same routine every day, it’s so full on, all the time.”;;
The mum also acknowledged that her relationship with Joe had suffered since having children.
She revealed: “With me and Joe, we used to go out to cinemas, out for meals, go out shopping, do all sorts of things. Had things and it all stopped.
“Because I’ve seen my mum and dad so happy, I do feel like I should be like that as well. However, it’s not for everyone.”;;
Sophie also opened up about how she felt about her body, explaining: “I used to be fit as a fiddle and I’ve let myself go a bit.
“Confidence completely shattered.
“I’ve realised I’m not as fit as I used to be and I don’t look as good as I used to.
“I don’t like my legs, I don’t like my belly, I don’t like my arms, I just don’t like anything, at all.”;;
Even , recognised the strain Sophie was feeling.
She said: “Sophie is a very busy mum, she does long hours at work, she’s up early in the morning.
“And I sometimes feel, is she stuck in a rut.
“I’m not wanting to interfere, but she seems to be in a really bad place, and I’m not sure I can leave it any longer.
“She seems quiet and distant recently.”;;
While the family rallied around Sophie back in August 2024, organising a birthday trip to Amsterdam in a bid to cheer her up, it is obvious the effects were short-lived.
