Kym and Jamie Lomas have been living apart after deciding to "take time out" from their marriage.
The 'Coronation Street' beauty and the 'EastEnders' star - who tied the knot last September - have been living separately for around a week following a series of arguments, but the couple are said to be attempting to patch up their differences in a bid to save their relationship.
A source said: "It's true, they are spending some time apart while they work through their problems.
"They've not split up but have been going through a tricky time -- arguments and various other things. They have always had a tempestuous relationship and have been through a hell of a lot.
"There isn't really one big issue at the heart of this, just the usual resentments and arguments which can build up in a marriage."
The pair - who recently put their £650,000 marital home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, up for sale - have spent time apart in recent weeks as Jamie has been filming 'EastEnders' - in which he stars as new soap bad boy Jake Stone - in London, while Kym (Michelle Connor) shoots 'Corrie' in Manchester.
It is hoped the extra space will help to spark up their relationship again.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Obviously the fact that Jamie went out to Los Angeles a few times to find work hasn't helped the situation.
"Jamie is not at the marital home -- even when he's back in the north west. They've been living apart for about a week.
"They are utilising the fact that Jamie is filming in London to have a bit of space while they try to work through it.
"The marriage is by no means over and they are hoping they can come through this.
"But one thing is certain, there is no one else involved."
