Chelsea legend’s daughter reveals her marriage is over after nine years together in emotional Instagram post

JADE LEBOEUF'S Instagram account is usually all about glitz and glamour, fun and fashion.

But this time the daughter of Chelsea icon Frank chose social media for a more serious task - as she announced her break-up from husband Stephane Rodrigues.

Alongside a black and white wedding shot, the model emphasised the "love, understanding... and mutual respect" behind the couple's decision to split.

And after nine years of marriage she stressed the priority was to "preserve a harmonious family relationship".

Jade and reality TV star Stephane have a son, Elon, who was born in August 2022.

Comments were turned off on her announcement, but her classy words helped the post attract nearly 50,000 likes in three days.

The influencer more typically shares a succession of daring photo-shoots, notably recently in a bikini indoors and in just underwear on the thick snow outside.

But there was also one hint at deeper issues when she revealed some of her inner thoughts.

She posted then: "2024 has been a year of storms and revelations. 

"There were moments of light when everything seemed fluid and I believed I was at the top of my game. 

"Then there was the fall. A brutal descent into the depths of my doubts and fears. But maybe falling is part of the journey."

Now she has written to reveal her separation and what' she hopes it means's now important for herself, Stephane and Elon.

Jade said: "After 9 years of love, understanding and beautiful memories Steph and I have decided to go our separate ways. 

"This decision, carefully thought out, is imprinted with mutual respect and affection because we want above all to preserve a harmonious family relationship for ourselves and for our son."

A day after her revelation, Jade explained her positive outlook on the situation.

She wrote: "Without shadow, there is no light. These dark phases do not define us, but they push us to find our light.

"Every trial, every doubt, every tear is an invitation to find that spark deep within us, the one that never goes out, even in the darkest moments."

And the following day, she felt able to post more joyous images - a clip of her cycling before relaxing with a cuppa afterwards.

She said: "Getting around has never been so enjoyable as riding my electric bike."

And, just as she might hope for her future, she added the cycle was "easy to recharge".
