Weekend Sunrise host Monique Wright splits from husband Tim Scanlan

Monique Wright has revealed she’s split from her partner of 13 years, Tim Scanlan.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph on Thursday, a representative for the 48-year-old Weekend Sunrise host confirmed the split.

‘Monique and Tim agreed to separate a very long time ago and have continued to bring up their three beautiful children together,’ the statement read.

‘They have always been extremely private people and remain that way. They are completely committed to their children, and ask for privacy and respect as there are three young children involved.’ 

The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential first noticed Monique hadn’t been wearing her wedding ring in recent broadcasts of the show.

Monique and Tim began dating after meeting in 2008, and were married just a year later. 

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph in April 2015, Monique revealed she was stunned to discover she was pregnant with her third child at 42.

‘It was the last thing that we expected. It was completely unplanned but we are absolutely thrilled,’ she said at the time.

Monique said she hoped her surprise pregnancy would give ‘hope’ to women who may be struggling with fertility issues.

‘I didn’t meet Tim until I was well into my 30s and now I’m 41, and now we are two-and-a-quarter kids later,’ she said at the time.  

Monique first joined Channel Seven as a reporter in 1996, before replacing Grant Denyer as the weather presenter on Sunrise.

In February 2014, she was announced as co-host of Weekend Sunrise after previously filling in for former host Samantha Armytage.
