It was the confession no one expected from one of Britain’s most cheerful and seemingly unbreakable couples.
After years of laughter, viral videos, and chart-topping Christmas singles, Mark and Roxanne Hoyle — the duo behind LadBaby — have revealed they are “considering a temporary separation” to decide whether their marriage can survive.
The couple, once adored as the face of family-friendly fun, admitted that behind the smiles and skits lay months of tension, sleepless nights, and silent heartbreak.
“We Need Time to Breathe”
Roxanne — known to millions as LadBabyMum — has stunned fans not only with her recent transformation but also with her emotional honesty.
“We’ve been through so much — fame, pressure, criticism — and somewhere along the way, we lost sight of who we are as a couple,” she confessed quietly.
“We still love each other deeply, but right now, we need time apart to figure out if love is enough.”
According to close friends, the decision to take time apart was mutual, following “months of heavy hearts and endless late-night conversations.”
From Fairytale to Fracture
Their story began like a modern-day success dream. In 2016, Mark and Roxanne turned everyday parenting chaos into comedy gold — and within years, they were national treasures.
With five consecutive Christmas No.1 singles, best-selling books, and millions of loyal fans, the couple appeared unstoppable.
But behind the glittering success, cracks began to show. Insiders say the two have battled burnout, online trolling, and emotional exhaustion since a scandal last year, when a viral clip appeared to show Mark with another woman.
Though they vehemently denied the cheating rumours and called the video “fake,” the damage was done.
“Roxanne tried to stay strong,” a source revealed. “But the constant abuse — comments about her weight, her marriage, her worth — broke something inside her. It’s been unbearable.”
Fame, Pressure, and Public Scrutiny
The couple’s meteoric rise from living on £20 a week to managing a million-pound brand came at a price. Between fame, business deals, and raising their two sons — Phoenix (9) and Kobe (7) — the pressure has been relentless.
Roxanne’s dramatic weight loss over recent months only fueled more speculation. Some fans wondered if her transformation was the result of health issues or heartbreak.
A source close to the family explained:
“It’s not about diet — it’s stress. The pressure of protecting her husband, her image, and their brand has been crushing.”
“We Still Care — That’s Why It Hurts”
Despite the turmoil, Mark and Roxanne insist their love hasn’t disappeared. They’re simply taking a step back to heal — not to walk away.
“We’re not giving up,” Mark told a friend. “We just need time to remember who we were before all the fame and noise.”
Roxanne echoed the sentiment in a soft, reflective tone:
“I never take what we have for granted. I just hope that, in time, we can find our way back to each other.”
A Love Story at a Crossroads
As word of their possible separation spread, #StayStrongLadBaby began trending across social media. Fans flooded the couple’s pages with love, prayers, and heartbreak.
One fan wrote:
“They made us laugh for years — now all we want is for them to find happiness again.”
Another added:
“Every couple faces storms. I just hope they remember how much love they’ve shared with the world.”
Their followers now wait anxiously — wondering if the internet’s most wholesome couple can weather this emotional storm, or if this is truly the beginning of the end for LadBaby’s fairytale.
