GMB’s Alex Beresford reveals he has SPLIT from wife Natalia

GMB weatherman Alex Beresford has revealed he has split from his wife Natalia after ‘desperately trying to make things work.’ 

The 39-year-old detailed his personal woes for the Britain Get Talking podcast as he admitted he’s felt ‘really lonely’ since the split from the mother of his child, Cruz, 10. 

Alex said he ‘never imagined’ that he would be once again looking for love as he reached the age of 40 and had felt like his life had been mapped out. 

He said: ‘It’s been a massive learning curve, I didn’t think at the age of 20 that when I was approaching 40, I would be in this situation.

‘The age of 40, you’ll be married, you’ll be a grown up, you’ll have a kid or two, your life is going to be set. I’m not old, I don’t feel old, it’s a bit daunting.  

‘But we’ve been in lockdown, so even if I wanted to go on a date, I couldn’t go on a date.

‘I don’t want to grow old on my own, life is for sharing and it’d be great to meet someone in the future but they have to be right for me, right for Cruz.’

Alex continued to live with Natalia after they split last year as they didn’t want to rush their separation but his ex and his son moved out before Covid: 19 struck. 

Natalia developed coronavirus symptoms during the pandemic, forcing him to be separated from his son for two weeks, a time that Alex found hard. 

He said: ‘When Natalia and Cruz moved out, it was two weeks before lockdown. Natalia developed symptoms, she had a cough. 

‘It turned out not to be COVID-19, they had to self isolate for 14 days – so I went from living in a house full of people to living on my own in lockdown. 

‘I watched Boris Johnson’s lockdown message sitting on my sofa feeling really lonely. And I couldn’t see Cruz for two weeks.’

He continued: ‘I’ve realised how strong I am, but I am only strong because of the people I have behind me.

‘As we kind of moved into the summer, myself and Natalia decided we were going to part ways, which, you know me. I’m not a quitter, and I hate quitting things.

‘We tried to work through things, but at some point you realise the best thing to do for everybody is walk away, but walking away is never easy.’

He shared: ‘We were in the same house up until the beginning of this year, knowing that we were parting ways, it takes a while to figure things out. One thing I didn’t want to do is rush things.

‘By being in that house, knowing we weren’t together, we started to get on better – it removed a lot of the stress and expectation that a relationship can bring.

‘It was so much to manage, we are only human and have feelings and emotions.

‘The important thing is to open up and talk to someone about what you’re going through.’
