A “heartbroken” TOWIE star has split from her husband after they married in secret seven years ago.
Maria Fowler tied the knot with a motocross racer in an intimate ceremony in Cheshire surrounded by their nearest and dearest, back in 2019.
Maria and Kelvin Batey described the event as the “happiest day of our lives,” as she showed off her huge sparkler.
Now, it’s been revealed that the pair have gone their separate ways with Maria questioning “how it all went so wrong.”
A source close to Maria told The Sun: “Maria and Kelvin decided to call it quits at the start of the summer.
“It was a really tough decision but Maria ultimately felt like she wanted more.”

It seems Maria had big plans for her future but didn’t quite see how Kelvin would fit into them.
The source continued: “She has been really successful in business recently and it made her realise she could cope without him.
“It hasn’t been the easiest of transitions but they are getting there. Maria has been incredibly emotional, but has thrown herself into work.
“It’s when she’s not working that she is struggling and questioning how it went so wrong.”
The mum-of-two, who has taken a step back from the limelight in recent years, got engaged to Kelvin in 2017.
They wed at the Nunsmere Hall Hotel and went on to enjoy a minimoon in Bowness Bay Marina, Windermere.
Maria said at the time: “So this happened yesterday… we got married!
“The happiest day of our lives. What an absolutely incredible day surrounded by Incredible people.
“We had an intimate ceremony which was full of tears, laughs and sentiment.”
The former couple share two children – Evie, nine, and Nellie, five.
Maria, 40, shot to fame after appearing on TOWIE in 2010 – when the show first launched.
