Charley posted a statement on her Instagram, which Matthew went on to repost on his own story.
"It is with love and respect that Matthew and I have decided to separate," she wrote. "We remain friends and our priority is the love for our children. For their sake we would appreciate privacy at this time. C x."
The couple met on the set of Emmerdale, where Charley played Debbie Dingle and Matthew starred as David Metcalfe. Both of them had stepped away from the soap in recent years, which Charley teasing that she would be back on screens sometime this year.
The pair share three sons - Buster, Bowie and Ace.
They welcomed their third son in 2019, who was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.
Speaking to OK Magazine, Charley said: "The umbilical cord was wrapped around Ace’s neck when he was born. It came off and he was passed to me but I could tell something was wrong.
"Ace wasn’t breathing at first – so the midwife had to press the panic button."
Matthew added: "She said he’d cough and splutter, but he didn’t, so she had Ace on his front and was rubbing his back.
"Eventually – and it felt like an hour but it was probably just seconds – he coughed and was fine.
"By the time someone had come through the door from the panic button being pressed, Ace was breathing again, so it couldn’t have been long. Although it felt like a lifetime."
