It’s been just over a year of marriage for Mel Greig and her husband Steve Pollock, but the pair have announced today they are parting ways to allow Pollock to “rediscover himself as an individual”.
The TV and radio personality appeared on Studio 10 to break the news of her separation this morning, telling the panellists she has been coming to terms with her fractured marriage for months.
“I am separated from my husband now,” she said, adding: “there’s been a couple of months that I’ve been dealing with it in private.”

Greig and her husband have been living apart since she moved to Wollongong at the beginning of the year to work on the Wave FM breakfast radio show. The split comes after the 33-year-old announced her ongoing battle with endometriosis – which means she may be unable to conceive children naturally – in September last year.
Having suffered with the condition since she was 17-years-old, Greig was told by doctors that she would need a hysterectomy. She has spoken publicly in the past about an unsuccessful round of IVF treatments and has said she would probably need to use a surrogate to have children. Her fertility battles have undoubtedly weighed Greig down, telling the studio she finds it hard to field questions asking when she will start a family.
