Studio 10’s Sarah Harris has opened up about how she has dealt with her marriage to Tom Ward ending in March, after seven years together.
In an interview with TV Week, the 40-year-old TV host said “it’s a process” going through a marriage breakdown.
When asked how she has dealt with the end of her marriage, Sarah said: “Lots of therapy. Seriously, talking stuff out really helps. Highly recommend it. I’m also getting better at mindfulness and just generally being more in the moment. It’s a process. It helps to laugh too. Whether it be at a stupid meme or just the ridiculousness of life, a good cackle cures most things for me.”
“I turned 40 in lockdown. The past couple of years have taught me that while you can’t control what happens in life, you can control your reaction to it.”
In March, Sarah released a statement saying: “Tom and I are taking time apart, however we remain good friends and deeply committed to co-parenting our two beautiful boys.”
Sarah and Tom share two children, Paul and Harry.
Sarah also reflected on the fact that marriage breakups are not uncommon by any means, neither is co-parenting with a former partner.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Sarah said: “I am not the first woman to do this and I certainly won’t be the last. You just have to be organised and everything has to run with military-like precision.”
Sarah went on to reveal the difficult emotional moments she’s faced in the last few months since parting with Tom. “There are days where I get in the car and cry the whole way home and think, ‘That was a waste of makeup'," she said.
