Six months on from Phillip Schofield admitting he\u2019d had an affair with a younger male colleague at ITV, wife Stephanie Lowe still hasn't filed for divorce.<\/p>\n

But, according to a source, there's a reason for why she hasn't sought out a legal separation and it's because there's still love there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever Phillip has done behind Steph\u2019s back, she still loves him,\u201d our insider said. \u201cEven if the love they shared in the beginning of their marriage is different to what it is now, the love is still very much there."<\/p>\n

Phillip, 61, has himself confirmed that the couple have no plans to divorce, declaring in an emotional interview during the fallout from the expos\u00e9, \u201cI have a wonderful marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also thanked Steph for being an \u201cincredibly supportive wife\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The former This Morning host and Steph separated when he publicly came out as gay in 2020. But Phillip was pictured wearing his wedding ring when he visited his elderly mum Pat, 87, in Cornwall in the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteph is, and always will be, Phillip\u2019s support system,\u201d our source said. \u201cShe hasn\u2019t divorced him because she doesn\u2019t want to see him fall any further.<\/p>\n

Last week there were also news reports that he planned to spend Christmas with his estranged wife and their two daughters, Molly, 30, and Ruby, 27. It\u2019s another sign of their seemingly unbreakable bond and proof that unconventional marriages can work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s telling that they will spend Christmas together again as a family. He is the father of her daughters, after all, and the girls love him dearly," the insider continued.<\/p>\n

The family home in Henley-on-Thames is a stylish mix of modern and rustic and over the years has featured many times in Phillip\u2019s social media posts. He also owns a gorgeous property in Cornwall.<\/p>\n

For Steph, 59, welcoming her husband back into the fold for the holiday festivities is something that may have once seemed highly unlikely, given how \u201cvery angry\u201d she was over his affair.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But our source claims there is still 'friendship' between the two and extending an invitation for Christmas could be the healing gesture Phillip needs right now after a turbulent year.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhil has caused his wife a lot of hurt in recent times,\u201d commented our source, \u201cbut there\u2019s no denying, they still have a great friendship and share a lot of love."<\/p>\n

Steph met Phillip in the early days of his career when she was a BBC TV production assistant and have been married for 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
