In a statement on social media, the Love Actually actress said Jack suggested it was best they both went their separate ways.

But as Jack, 40, is seen for the first time without his wedding ring, Martine has taken a swipe at her estranged partner.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the star reposted a clip from wellness educator Alex Elle.

In the clip, the author says: "The older I get, the less time I have for people who are unsure about me.

"I need people in my life who are certain. People who want to be there. People who make space for me."

Resharing the post, Martine added: "I love this lady. @alex_elle soothing, gentle, voice, softly reminding us of our own strength, value, love and true worth."

The 48-year-old shares a nine-year-old son named Rafferty with Jack.

Announcing their split on Thursday, Martine said: "After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it's best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision.

"We are both so very blessed and grateful for our beautiful, nine-year-old son Rafferty, whose happiness and welfare has always been, and will continue to be, our number one priority.
