Huw Edwards has split from his wife Vicky Flind and moved out of their family home, it has been reported.
The former BBC presenter, 62, is being charged with making indecent images of children.
Edwards – who quit BBC in April after 40 years on screens – was arrested in November, and is currently facing three charges over alleged activity between the end of 2020 and spring 2022.
Now, a source has told The Sun he and his TV producer wife Vicky – who worked on This Week, Peston and Britain’s Next Prime Minister – have split, and he has moved out of their Dulwich home.
A source said: ‘They separated quite a long time ago but have not announced it publicly.
‘Huw has been living elsewhere for a while.’
His new London address reportedly appeared in court documents obtained by the publication, and he’s said to be splitting his time between there and Wales.
Edwards and Vicky got engaged in 1993 and were in a relationship for over 30 years.
Per Daily Mail, the pair met in 1991 but didn’t start up a romance until much later when Huw decided to step in for a mutual friend on a ski trip.
‘We turned up at Gatwick to find our flight was delayed for 14 hours,’ Edwards recalled. ‘We started talking then and haven’t ever really stopped.’
The couple have five children together – three sons named Dan, Sammy and Amos, and two daughters, Hannah and Rebecca.
On July 29, the Met Police spokesperson said in a statement: ‘Huw Edwards, 62, of Southwark, London has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children following a Met Police investigation.
‘The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat.
‘Edwards was arrested on November 8, 2023. He was charged on Wednesday, June 26 following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service.’
The statement confirmed Edwards’ court appearance this week, stating that he has been released on bail.
‘Media and the public are strongly reminded that this is an active case.
‘Nothing should be published, including on social media, which could prejudice future court proceedings.’
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson echoed the Met’s statement, adding: ‘We remind all that proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
‘It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary, or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.’
The offences can carry a jail term of up to 10 years.
Edwards joined the BBC as a trainee in 1984 and went on to become one of the corporation’s most prominent and highest-paid news anchors, having famously broke the news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September, 2022.
