TV star Dani Behr has split from her husband of nine years Carl Harwin, blaming the breakdown of the marriage on Harwin’s gruelling work schedule.
The 39-year-old, who presented UK shows including The Word, and The Big Breakfast, now lives in Los Angeles with their two children felt they didn’t “have things in common” anymore.
She told Hello Magazine!: “We were married for almost nine years and we’d been growing apart for some time.
“You need to have things in common,” she explained. “Carl’s a Malibu surfer dude and I’m a city girl. I like socialising and being around people; he wasn’t like that.”
Behr, currently hosting on Fox Sports in the U.S also blamed the American restauranteur’s busy work schedule for the break: “Carl works such crazy hours – he’d often get home at 11pm and leave before the kids and I woke up the next morning.
“It was very isolating. I was like a single parent from the beginning.”
“Carl had to be in Australia last year and I’d had enough of it,” she added. “It’s so far from everywhere and when you have two young children you want to have a support network around you.”
Behr, who was a contestant on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! in 2008, said that the decision to split has been amicable: “We’re not even using lawyers so it’s the best-case scenario as far as divorces go.”
“I’m turning 40 in a few months so it really does feel like a whole new era for me,” she added.
