Phillip Schofield Is Still Married to His Wife, Despite Coming out as Gay and Moving out of Their Home

Phillip Schofield, 59, has become one of the most famous television personalities through his work as a presenter on ITV. The Oldham, Great Britain native, has lived an extraordinary life, moving around the world as well as being happily married.

However, about a year ago, Schofield released a brave statement announcing he was gay. People around the world praised his courage, but at the same time, many wondered what would be next for him, his wife, and his children.

So what has happened to Phillip Schofield? Even though he and his wife Stephanie aren’t living together anymore, they’re not divorced yet. Why is that? Here is all you need to know about Phillip Schofield’s life!

Phillip Schofield worked in the media business before his 18th birthday. And the fact that he wasn’t able to do it for a while almost brought him into a very tough downward spiral.

Schofield rose to fame in both the UK and outside of Europe through his later work as a presenter on ITV This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby. The duo rose to fame on social media through many funny clips, including laughing with the Italian chef Gino D’Acampo.

But in fact, Phillip Schofield’s career in television started when he was still a teenager. So even though he wasn’t a star then, it laid the groundwork for his future career.

The last year has been quite remarkable for Schofield. With the full support of his wife, Stephanie, and two children, Phillip Schofield announced that he was gay. The announcement was very emotional, and now, his new life has started.

But despite him not living together with his wife Stephanie, the couple have no plans on getting a divorce at the moment? Why?

Here is all you need to know about Phillip Schofield!

Born on April 1, 1962, in Oldham, England, Phillip Schofield grew up in Cornwall with parents Brian and Pat Schofield.

He went to Trenance Infant Scool and later Newquay Tretherrras School, and at 15 years of age, he started his career in broadcasting.

Early career in radio

Schofield got his own Sunday show on a radio station in Plymouth, where he was the presenter. He was determined to pursue his dreams of working in the media industry, but his teachers tried to hold him back.

In the 1992 book, Phillip Schofield: The Whole Amazing Story, several of the presenter’s former teachers revealed that they tried getting Phillip Schofield to focus on other careers.

Gerry Green worked as a careers adviser and teacher at the Tretherras Senior School, and she revealed that Schofield already had a clear plan.

“I came up against a brick wall. I had no chance. Schofield knew what he was going to do, and nothing I said made the slightest difference,” Green said. “‘Very nice, Phillip. Now, if you couldn’t do that, what else would you like to do? ‘I don’t want to do anything else,'” she recalled him saying.

Green tried telling Schofield that he should try and pursue a “sensible” job, such as working with computers. But Schofield didn’t listen.

“I said, ‘There must be something else you fancy doing apart from working for the BBC” But he just shook his head. ‘That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do,'” she added. “I put his wild ambition down to adolescent dreaming: I thought he’d just have to live and learn. Certainly, it never crossed my mind that he would, indeed, go on and interview people.”

While most children enjoy playing outside, Schofield was not a fan. If you saw Phillip Schofield running around with friends when he was young, that meant something wasn’t right.
