Alfie Boe ‘splits from his wife Sarah after 16 years of marriage and is on exclusive app Raya’ 

Alfie Boe has split from his wife Sarah after 16 years of marriage and is now looking for women on a celebrity dating app.

The West End star, 46, has told friends his marriage is over after months of difficulties during lockdown.

The singing sensation has now joined the A-list dating app Raya and has been messaging women, according to The Sun. 

The Les Miserables star married Sarah in 2004 and they share two children, Grace, 12, and Alfred, eight.

The family had been spending lockdown together at their Cotswolds home but he has now been looking for a new romance in London. 

A source said: ‘Alfie has told women he’s been chatting to on Raya that his marriage is over and they are going to divorce.

‘It seems lockdown was just too much for Alfie and Sarah.

‘They have found their relationship increasingly strained and he says they’ve now made the decision to separate.’ 

The source added that the star wants the split to be amicable for the sake of his two children.

Alfie has sold more than one million albums in the UK and has scored two number one records with Michael Ball.

He has made a number of appearances in West End and Broadway shows and is most celebrated for playing Jean Valjean in the long-running Les Miserables.

A number of stars have used the exclusive app Raya to find love, where users have to be approved after submitting an application.

Users have included Emma Watson, Cara Delevingne, Lily Allen, Jack Whitehall, and Kelly Osbourne.
