While Millie has not yet addressed her split from Hugo, a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail their split came after serious conversations about their future.
They revealed: 'Millie and Hugo are currently going through a separation and have sadly decided to split.
'They have known each other for many years, and in recent weeks, have had serious conversations about their future, ultimately deciding it's better for them both to part ways.
'Their main priority remains their children and family life, and separating is not something they ever hoped would happen.
'At present, they are considering what living apart might look like and how they plan to navigate co-parenting their young children.

Millie travelled to India last week to attend a wellness retreat designed to 'heal' the nervous system while Hugo was on a skiing holiday.
During her stay, the reality star, who was pictured without her wedding ring, shared several posts alluding to a new chapter in her life.
On Sunday, she posted a quote that read: 'You don't always have to know what comes next in your journey.

'Sometimes you just need to be where you are and know that it's okay to be there. There is so much beauty in accepting yourself, right here, in this moment.
'No matter what you are working towards, I hope you can always remember that finding peace in the present moment is just as important as the path ahead.'
Meanwhile, another source claimed Millie and Hugo's split came after struggles in their marriage were heightened by the star's admissions about her sexuality.
Millie previously revealed that during her teenage years, she struggled to express her attraction to women, and would only find the courage to 'kiss' them when she was drunk
Millie admitted she used to 'drunkenly snog girls' at the height of her battle with alcohol.

Millie, who went sober in 2022, is said to have found being fully open 'a lot to deal with,' and insiders are now claiming that realising her sexuality led to a widening 'gap' in her marriage to Hugo.
A source told The Sun: 'She’s really come to understand who she is as a person - not a mother, not a wife but actually as herself.
'It’s the first time she’s been able to be fully open about her sexuality and, of course, it’s been a lot to deal with.'
