‘That’s fantastic. It’s all quite new to us still at the moment but we’re still finding our feet, finding a way to do it and do it well. I think we are.’
The couple were married for five years after tying the knot in 2018 and share their three children, Buster, 14, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four.
They announced their split in November last year, writing on Instagram at the time: ‘It is with love and respect that Matthew and I have decided to separate.
‘We remain friends and our priority is the love for our children. For their sake we would appreciate privacy at this time.’
Signs of trouble in their marriage first emerged earlier in the month of their split announcement when Matthew unfollowed his Charley on Instagram.

A source told The Sun: ‘Charley and Matthew were in very different places in their lives when they first got together.
‘Three kids later and with new careers in the mix, everything has changed and perhaps they are no longer the unit they once were.’
A month later, Matthew was seen stepping out with love interest Heather Scott-Martin on a date in London.
Heather was appearing in the West End’s Elf The Musical as the Swing / Dance Captain, with Matthew also starring in the production as Buddy.
Matthew reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with Heather before his split from wife and former co-star Charley was publicly announced.
A source told The Sun: ‘They looked like honeymooners, or loved-up teenagers. The pictures will prove a shock to the heart for poor Charley, even as her relationship with Matthew unraveled.’
Former couple Charley and Matthew met on the set of Emmerdale back in 2006 when he joined the soap, and became engaged three years later, in 2009.
The couple previously split in 2013 for two years, before having a surprise wedding in 2018 at Ripley Castle, Yorkshire.

Charley gushed: ‘That moment when we announced what we were doing and seeing everybody’s reaction is the best moment of my life.’
