Actress Helen George and actor Jack Ashton have recently announced their separation after being together for seven years. Helen took to social media to share the news in a statement to her fans. She expressed that they had decided to part ways a few months ago, but their main focus remains on their two beautiful daughters. Helen requested privacy as they navigate through this new chapter in their lives.
A Look Back at Their Relationship
The couple’s love story began in 2016 when they met on the set of the Call the Midwife Christmas special in South Africa. However, prior to her relationship with Jack, Helen had gone through a divorce with her ex-husband Oliver Boot in 2015. Seeking solace and a fresh start, she joined the popular show Strictly Come Dancing, where she found comfort in her partnership with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec. Helen viewed the experience as a form of therapy, as it allowed her to focus on something positive during a difficult time.
Challenges and Support
Recently, Helen faced additional challenges when she shared a photo of herself wearing a leg cast. The image raised concerns among her fans, as it appeared she had sustained a painful leg injury. In response to the well-wishes from her followers, Helen humorously referred to her medical leg knee walker as her new “wheels.” Despite the setbacks, her admirers offered messages of support and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Throughout their relationship, Helen and Jack navigated the demands of their busy filming schedules. Jack, acknowledging the difficulties, stated that when they both had work commitments, it could be troublesome. As Call the Midwife resumed filming, he anticipated taking on more childcare responsibilities. He eagerly looked forward to attending his eldest daughter’s summer sports events and swimming galas.
Reflecting on their shared profession, Helen revealed that being in the same industry as Jack had actually strengthened their relationship. With the long hours and limited free time, they understood the demands and sacrifices required. She emphasized that their similar mindset and understanding of the industry had brought them closer together.
Helen George and Jack Ashton have decided to go their separate ways after seven years together. Despite the challenges they have faced individually and as a couple, they remain committed to co-parenting their two children. Their journey as partners may be coming to an end, but they will continue to support and prioritize the well-being of their family.
