Sarah Vine and her divorce
British columnist, Sarah Vine, 54 splits from her husband of 20 years, Michael Gove last year.
The reason for the divorce was not clear.
But now in a new interview that she gave to Tatler, Sarah has said that country politics at an international level was responsible for causing the separation of the couple.
The frank columnist stated that BREXIT was one of the causes of the collapse of her marital relationship.
It causes a great strain on their marriage.
“My whole life fell away. I didn’t speak to many close friends.
And that was another huge strain on the marriage. “Marriage can take the strain, but it cannot take that much.”
She added: “politics creates a toxic environment and puts immense pressure on families and marriages”.
“That’s really at the heart of why Michael and I are getting divorced.
“It’s not because we hate each other, it’s because I can’t look after my family and myself and be a wife of politics.”
What about the affair rumors about the couple?
There were rumors that Michael had done adultery and had a mistress due to which Sarah and Michael divorced.
But Sarah in this interview has rubbished all rumors of affairs of Michael. She explained:
“Michael’s only mistress was politics.”
“The mistress wins in the end. It’s all about making sure she is happy.
“In my case, despite all the rumors, his only mistress was politics.
“That’s what he is in love with. He is genuinely in love with politics.”
In the 2016 referendum, Michael was a main person in the Vote Leave campaign.
Sarah added that she never ever wanted Michael to take over as the Prime Minister.
She said:
“My ulterior motive throughout my entire life was to stop my husband being prime minister because I can’t think of anything worse.”
The relationship timeline of the couple
Sarah met Michael when she was working as an arts editor and Michael was the comments editor at The Times newspaper.
