Sonia Kruger’s shock divorce

Career pressure and too much time apart cause the collapse of the TV favourite’s marriage…

Sonia Kruger seemed to have it all — fame, a successful career and a happy home life. So it came as a shock to friends and fans alike that her six-year marriage to international banker James Davies had fallen apart.

“I can confirm that they are no longer together,” Sonia’s agent Mark Klemens told Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph. Quick to point out that no third party was involved, Mark cited their successful careers and time spent apart for the split.

The matter was “deeply personal”, Mark told Woman’s Day, adding that Sonia had no further comment to make.

As one of television’s most polished and professional stars, the forever upbeat Sonia never let show the true extent to which her marriage was in trouble.

But while fans across the nation were stunned to learn of her private pain, insiders say the marriage between the Dancing With The Stars co-host and her husband had been slowly disintegrating for the better part of a year.

Even in happier times Sonia made no secret of the strain her successful career put on her relationship. She even once went so far as to say she and her husband were “married singles”.
