Kate Brazier Scrolls at Night After Split from Jeff

Kate Brazier has been having sleepless nights in the wake of her split from husband Jeff.

In a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, Jeff, 46, revealed their seven year marriage broke down over the summer after they discovered they couldn’t make each other happy. 

Hours after Jeff’s statement, Kate, 35, posted on Instagram Stories, revealing she has been struggling to sleep during a holiday to Las Vegas.

Sharing a pensive-looking photo of herself, Kate wrote: ‘Thought I had beaten the jet lag but the fact that I’m up at 3am eating pickles and scrolling tells me otherwise. Can’t wait to head back to the sun for a bit of r&r.’ 

PR consultant Kate has been letting off steam with a trip to Las Vegas in the wake of her shock split from TV presenter Jeff.

Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, she shared a video of a woman enjoying a lap dance on stage at ABSINTHE, a raunchy show combining ‘adult circus, burlesque and vaudeville’ at the iconic Caesars Palace in Sin City.

In an accompanying caption she penned: ‘Absinthe is always the best show in Vegas’, before sharing a post about six planets being a retrograde, which is considered by believers to affect life’s path – often in a negative manner. 

In the post Kate, who visited Vegas with Jeff last year to celebrate their wedding anniversary, cryptically simply stated: ‘That’s why’, in regard to the planets. 

Meanwhile Jeff broke his silence on the split with a lengthy Instagram statement on Tuesday night, in which he made reference to the difficult year he and Kate had faced due to fractured relations with his son Freddy, 21. 

He told fans: ‘I’m so full of love and gratitude for Kate. For all we achieved, for how much we grew, for everything we endured.

‘We separated in the summer and kept it private for as long as we could to give us some time to adjust.

‘For 12 years we have been each others safe space, each others biggest supporters at a time when our lives have been busy, painful & complex.

‘I’m so proud of how hard we worked, how we kept showing up, we gave everything and more.

‘I’m also so full of respect and admiration for the successful career Kate has built and the way she cared for me unconditionally.’

Jeff said Kate, 35, is still in touch to check in on how his sons are doing, as Freddy prepares to welcome his first child. 

The presenter continued: ‘It’s credit to the woman she is that she still checks in to ask how the boys are doing because she is so invested in their lives.

‘They love her and I have many friends that love her too. I will miss her family who always went above and beyond to support us.

‘My words don’t tell the full picture because they don’t need to. We will carry on supporting each other and I know I’ll be celebrating her inevitable wins just like before.

‘We both deserve complete happiness and we’re upset that we ultimately couldn’t be that for one another and It felt time to let it go.’

A number of stars commented on Jeff’s post. Kate Lawler wrote: ‘Ah guys how lovely that you’re still so close’, while Lisa Snowdon and Rebecca Loos posted love heart emojis.

It comes after it was reported that PR guru Kate moved out of their marital home three weeks ago.

Speculation was rife when Jeff then shared snaps from his new countryside property as he detailed the ‘transitional time’ in his life and how he was ‘living in calm’.

The presenter was then seen without his wedding ring while reporting from Reykjavik on Monday’s Good Morning Britain, while Kate too reportedly ditched her band after heading to Las Vegas for the Grand Prix. 

The couple previously split in late 2022 before reconciling seven months later. 

At the time, Kate admitted she ‘felt like a failure’ in her marriage to Jeff before realising every couple has their struggles, following their reconciliation. 

She gave her thoughts on marriage after being asked by a follower for advice on how to get theirs back on track.

She replied: ‘I think we are all guilty of portraying only the good bits on social media. Anyone who says marriage and raising kids is easy is lying in my opinion. I felt like such a failure until I realised everyone has their struggles.

‘I would never share the details of our relationship, but the one thing I am grateful for is that my husband is just as willing to put the work into himself and the relationship as I am. You can’t ask for anything more than that.’ 

However, the family have been through a turbulent time over the past 12 months, especially with Jeff’s son Freddy.

The son of the TV presenter and late Big Brother star Jade Goody recently patched things up with his father following a bitter family feud.

During this time, Jeff considered taking legal action to block access between his son and maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, in a bid to ‘keep him safe’.

Freddy, who is expecting his first child with on/off girlfriend Holly Swinburn, claimed Jackiey got him hooked on drugs, before appearing to reveal he had tragically ‘tried to end it all’ by ‘crashing his car’ in the middle of a ‘manic episode’.

In June Freddy appeared to take a swipe at Kate as he listed things he hates with ‘step parents’ being one of them. 

Freddy revealed in August that he would be welcoming his first child and vowed to turn his life around and patch up his relationship with his father.

The influencer sadly lost his mother, Jade, when he was just four years old after she died from cervical cancer on Mother’s Day in 2009.

Jade’s mother Jackiey helped raise Bobby and Freddy following Jade’s death, but she and Jeff have clashed multiple times over the years.

More recently, Freddy confessed to starving himself and replacing food with ‘green’, which is a street name for the drug cannabis.

Alongside a photo of his grandmother Jackiey, he wrote: ‘Prioritised my relationship with my mum’s mum not knowing she has been lying to me for years!’

Freddy included a video of himself walking along a street in a dressing gown, following by a short clip of an ambulance with the caption: ‘Had episode after episode. Til I got sectioned and spent my 18th in a psychiatric ward.’
