Carrie Bickmore and Chris Walker call it quits!

Carrie Bickmore and her partner Chris Walker have announced their separation after 12 years together.

The former TV host and her director partner announced the news on their separate Instagram accounts early on January 18.

“Hi there. It’s with immense sadness that (Carrie) and I have decided to separate,” the pair wrote.

“While this is a tough time, our focus is to concentrate on parenting, loving and supporting our three amazing children, Ollie, Evie and Addie with everything we’ve got. They are doing great.

“We won’t be making any further comment at this stage.”

The pair first met on the set of The Project, two years after Carrie lost her first husband Greg Lange to brain cancer.

Carrie and Chris went on to date before he became a stepfather to Carrie’s son from Greg, Ollie, and in 2015, the couple welcomed their first child together, Evie. Three years later, they announced another addition to the family, another daughter, Adelaide.

The news comes just a few months after Carrie announced that she was taking extended leave with the family to spend time in the UK.

“We feel like this is our last chance to do something like this together before Ollie hits the pointy end of his schooling and no longer wants to hang out with us so … we are heading to the UK for a school term,” Carrie wrote at the time.
