After announcing their divorce, Gogglebox actors Stephen Lustig-Webb and his husband Daniel have shown fans that they are still on good terms.
The TV personalities announced on Saturday (April 20) that they had split after six years of marriage.
Stephen, 52, and Daniel, 48, had featured on Gogglebox together since 2019, but left last year to ‘explore other options’.
Then, this weekend, they revealed that they are ‘parting ways’ after becoming engaged in 2016 and marrying two years later, in 2018.
Stephen said: ‘It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce.
‘There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.’

Daniel added to The Sun: ‘We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.
‘I’m sure we will forever be friends.’
They have remained friends, as seen by their cheery Instagram posts, with the ex-partners now laughing about their recent breakup.
Taking to social media one day after confirming their divorce, Stephen and Daniel enjoyed a day out in the sunshine, with Daniel mocking alongside a video of Stephen cycling: ‘Riding tandem straight out of this marriage’, adding the hashtag BFF.
Stephen also posted a photo on his feed with Daniel and a loved one, writing: ‘Lovely day celebrating @lustigellie birthday 🥳 @lustig75 🥰’
Fans were perplexed in the comments after learning that the Goggleboxers were no longer considered a romantic item.
Others, however, verified the divide to them, commenting how nice it was to see no bad blood.

‘So sad that you are divorcing but hope you both can be amicable and remain friends’, commented sharon_littlewood1.
Stephen and Daniel abruptly left the Channel 4 show in September of last year, citing a desire to try new things.
‘After careful consideration, Daniel and I have decided we will not be returning for the new series of Gogglebox,’ Stephen shared on Instagram.
‘We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities.’
Stephen was one of the show’s initial stars, first appearing in season one in 2013 alongside his old companion Christopher Steed.
After Christopher quit the series in 2017, Stephen’s mother Pat Webb took over from seasons 10 to 12.
Daniel has been with Stephen since series 13, and began starring on Gogglebox in 2019 alongside married couple Dave and Shirley Griffiths, sisters Izzy and Ellie Warner, and best friends Jenny Newby and Lee Riley.
Stephen was initially scheduled to be on this year’s Dancing On Ice, however he had to withdraw due to an injury.
Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
