Jeff Brazier’s wife Kate admits she ‘felt like a failure’ before realising every marriage has its struggles – after couple reunited following split
Jeff Brazier’s wife Kate has admitted she felt like “a failure” in her marriage before realizing every couple has their problems.
The PR guru, 33, opened up about the couple’s romance during an Instagram Q&A with her followers.
The couple confirmed they were back together last summer, seven months after announcing their split.
Kate gave her thoughts on the marriage after being asked by a follower for advice on how to get theirs back on track.
She replied, “I think we’re all crazy about portraying only the good things on social media. Anyone who says getting married and raising children is easy is lying in my opinion. I felt like such a failure until I realized that everyone has their struggles.

“I would never share the details of our relationship, but the one thing I am grateful for is that my husband is as willing to put the work into himself and the relationship as I am. You can’t ask for more than that.’
Kate, who is stepmother to Jeff’s children Bobby, 20, and Freddie, 18, also revealed that she and Jeff are unlikely to have children together.
She wrote, “I don’t think you can ever say no, but I don’t think so. It’s something I’ve fought my entire adult life because I felt bad for feeling that way and people’s reactions can be WILD, but I’m learning to accept it. We have our hands full anyway.’
Kate said she is “blessed” to have Bobby and Freddie in her life and “loves” the relationship she has with them now.
Jeff’s two sons come from his relationship with Jade Goody, who tragically lost her battle with cancer on March 22, 2009.
Jeff started dating Kate in 2013 and they tied the knot five years later in 2018, but split in early 2022.
They subsequently moved out of their shared home and Jeff confirmed their split on Instagram in December, sharing how he and his two sons had moved to a new area.
Announcing his divorce from Kate in December, Jeff said, “I have so much to be grateful for and I appreciate learning the lessons I need to grow, but this year has been challenging to say the least.

She recalled how the couple first met during a business trip to Mauritius in 2013
‘My nine-year relationship ended earlier this year and I’ve been working on that, in addition to supporting someone close to me who is going through something difficult.
‘The boys and I recently moved to a new area and I spend most of my time alone as the boys are obviously doing their own things.
“It’s been a constant change this year and I’m adapting well, but the combination of things has made me feel down at times.
‘I’ve honestly never felt so lonely. Can we move Christmas back a few months?!
“I have a lot of great friends and I know they’re just a phone call away, but sometimes I find it hard to admit that I’m struggling.
‘I need to reconnect with the friendships that have supported me, while my focus had been elsewhere for fourteen years.
“I know many of us find it easier to support than to be supported, but towards a better balance between the two in 2023, we need it and deserve it.”
In June 2020, Jeff had said that his marriage was stronger than ever after they went through a rough patch before the pandemic and he was seen without his wedding ring.
But Jeff had said the couple was back at it as they spent more time together, tellingly HELLO! magazine that they could “pause and reset” their marriage.

He explained at the time: “Now we are a million times better because we took the time to invest in ourselves.
“I’m so proud that the two of us have reached the point where things are easier and simpler than ever between us.
“We’ve grown stronger in the two months we’ve spent together, with time to just focus on each other. Kate and I have had the opportunity to press pause and reset.”
Kate had added: ‘For us, we realize every day how much we love each other’s company.
‘Marriage is not always easy and our problems often came from not seeing each other. Now we are stronger than ever.’
The duo tied the knot in a romantic Portuguese clifftop wedding ceremony in September 2018 after dating for five years.
