Martine McCutcheon returned to Instagram with a dig at her husband after announcing their split.
The Love Actually and EastEnders star, 48, shared a telling clip on Instagram just a day after revealing her husband Jack McManus, 40, wanted to end their marriage after 18 years. She wrote: “After much thought and consideration, Jack has decided it’s best for us to separate after 18 years together and I accept his decision.”
Martine went on to say how the now estranged couple’s number one priority will always be their son, Rafferty, nine. Returning to social media a day later, Martine appeared to take a dig at singer-songwriter Jack.
She shared a clip from author and motivational speaker Alex Elle, alongside the caption: “I love this lady…soothing, gentle voice, softly reminding us of our own strength, value, love and truth worth.” In the clip, Alex said: “The older I get, the less time I have for people who are unsure about me. I need people in my life who are certain. People who want to be there. People who make space for me to show up fully like I make space for them to do the same. We all deserve to have people in our lives who want to be in connection with us, who want to share space who feel good doing so.”
The writer added: “In this season of my life I am choosing people who choose me. I am choosing people who are sure about me. I am choosing people who don’t have to second guess whether I belong or not.”

It comes after Jack broke his silence following Martine’s announcement of their split. “There is nothing more to add. I will not be saying anything more about this,” he told MailOnline. Martine is currently on holiday in Marbella with their son while Jack is at their £1.5million home in Surrey, which was reportedly put on the market back in May.
The split came just days after Martine shared an emotional dedication to her husband in honour of his 40th birthday. She shared a series of sweep snaps of Jack with their son as well as pictures of the three of them together as family.
In one very glamorous snap, Jack sports a suit while Martine wears a white lacy dress as the pair enjoy a sophisticated date night. Martine praised her’s husband resilience and strength in the lengthy post, adding that he is “very loved”.
Announcing the split on Thursday, Martine said: “We are both so very blessed and grateful for our beautiful, 9 year old son Rafferty, whose happiness and welfare, has always been, and will continue to be, our number one priority. We both of course, still cherish and look forward to being parents together to our wonderful boy for the rest of our lives… Whilst this decision has evolved over a period of time, we are still finding our new way forward as a family and kindly ask for some privacy at this time…
“Especially for our little boy. Our love for Rafferty, is something that will never, waver, or change and we obviously want to protect him and help him feel as safe and secure as possible. Many thanks in advance for your respect and support, at this difficult time… And I continue to send Jack, all the love, luck and happiness for the next chapter of his. Rafferty and I (as always,) are rooting for you! Thank you all, for the love and support, now and always… Martine.xx.”
