Former Neighbors actress Erin McNaught has announced that she and her estranged husband, rapper Example, have split after 11 years together.
Erin McNaught first entered the public realm when she won Miss Australia in 2006. She went on to star in Neighbours, host MTV Hits Weekly Hot30 Countdown show, compete in SAS Australia and then Dancing with the Stars. Example is a popular rapper and record producer from the UK.
While working for MTV, Erin interviewed Example and the couple hit it off. They started dating shortly after and were married in 2013. The couple share two kids together, Evander Maxwell Gleave, 7, and Ennio Stanley, 4.
However, they have now announced that they are going their separate ways.
“Although we don’t feel this is anybody’s business but our own, it is inevitable that sometime soon the media could start speculating over our personal life,” the couple wrote in their joint post.
It continued, “At the start of the UK summer we decided to separate. We have had an amazing 11 years together, but just a few too many adventures. Obviously we spent a lot of time behind the scenes trying to figure things out, but we came to the realisation that perhaps our time as a couple had just come to a natural end. So we have decided to go our separate ways whilst there is still an abundance of love and respect for one another.

“We have been Co-parenting happily and effectively now for almost half a year and our boys are surrounded with love.
“Though we spend a lot of our time apart we still enjoy time together climbing, jogging, cinema, chasing kids around the park or getting coffee. Expect to see us out and about together with our children often. This is as amicable as it gets. Nobody is blaming anyone in all this. We are very happy that this is the right decision and hope that others can respect this too.
Everything is as it should be,” they concluded.
