But a source close to the pair today confirmed Jet had split from her wife - who she met in the aisles of a supermarket in 2022.
The insider told MailOnline: "Diane and Zoe just realised it wasn't to be. They didn't see any point carrying on so decided to end their marriage.
"It's sad, especially as they were only married for nearly 18 months, but they just weren't getting on.
"On reflection, they may have rushed into making their relationship official but there's no regrets or hard feelings between them."

Jet, whose real name is Diane Youdale, soared to fame on the hit show Gladiators from 1992 to 1996.
The 54-year-old met Zoe by chance in 2022 before they started a relationship together.
TV icon Jet told how she was approached by the “gorgeous lady” while shopping.
Diane previously admitted she had been “put off relationships for life” after moving to North West England for a failed love interest which ended badly.

But she said: “Just over a year ago, a gorgeous lady approached me in my local supermarket.
“Over a year later, we’re going to get married.
“We are what we are. It doesn’t matter. And I don’t give a damn.
“I’m safe and I’m loved and there’s no threat to me anymore and that’s what means the world to me.”

Diane wed Zoe in a secret ceremony in front of just six members of her friends and family, a year after they met in the supermarket.
Diane had trained as a choreographer before she became a Gladiator and released a single in 1994.
In 1996, she exited the show after suffering a 40ft fall in the Pole Axe stunt, crushing her nose after she hit the airbags.
She later told the Gladpod podcast: “My knees literally went into my face and I broke my nose… I had heard the crack, and I could see my nose out of my left eye.”
Diane retired from Gladiators and went on to star on TV shows, present dance shows and train as a psychiatrist.
She previously spoke of having a love affair with former Gladiators co-star James Crossley — known as Hunter.
