Australian singer Pete Murray has reportedly split up with Amanda Coutts, his wife of three years.
The pair, who got married in Byron Bay in 2006, have two sons, 5-year-old Charlie and Pedro, 2.
According to the Courier Mail, friends of the songwriter confirmed the break-up as Murray left the country to begin his European tour. The pair have allegedly been living separately and sharing custody of their children for the past few months.
As insiders insisted that there were no other parties involved, a rep for Murray said that he would not be commenting on "very personal and private matters in order to try to minimise the impact of this already painful situation upon his family".
The couple apparently met at a school dance and have been together for over a decade.
