David Walliams Has Reportedly Split From Wife Lara Stone

Oh, no. We thought this pairing was was keeps! But David Walliams has reportedly split from the mother of his 21-month-old son and wife of five years Lara Stone. 

A source close to the 43-year-old comedian said: "David has been putting on a brave face. But people close to him are very worried because they know he's devastated. David is used to hiding his emotions with comedy because that's what he's always done. But on the inside it is a real wrench."

News of their split has come as a huge surprise to friends even thought they have barely been seen together over the past six months.

The insider told The Sun: "It has stunned David's friends and TV colleagues. Everyone thought the marriage was strong." 

The 31-year-old model is said to have already moved out of their North London home with their son and their dog Bert.

In spite of this, the Little Britain star hopes they can get their relationship back on track.

The source said: "David hopes it is a blip and that they can get the marriage back on track somehow, especially seeing as there is a child involved. He is still fiercely protective of Lara."

It was recently claimed that the blonde had declined Justin Bieber's, eh, request to go on a date while shooting their most recent ad campaign for Calvin Klein.

A source previously said: "While they were doing the whole Calvin Klein ad, Justin was very forward and asked Lara on a date. He made it look like a joke at first, but then tried to put in the charm. It didn't work though as she respectfully declined since she is married. Surprisingly, it didn't get awkward and the shoot went on with out incident."

We know that celebrities spilt all the time. It's the nature of being a celeb we suppose. But we can't help feeling a bit sad when couples we like part ways. Has there ever been a famous separation that you were disappointed by?
