The 32-year-old television presenter was reported to have separated from his husband Dan Neal on Monday (28.06.21) after six years of marriage.
And Rylan has now confirmed speculation in a statement in which he said he made “a number of mistakes” in his relationship which he “deeply regrets”.
He said: “Following reports about Dan and I spending time apart, I feel I have to speak out - as the way it is being reported is unfair.
“I have made a number of mistakes which I deeply regret and have inevitably led to the breakdown of our marriage.”
Rylan – who has been absent from his BBC Radio 2 show for seven weeks – also revealed he has decided to “seek help” for personal issues which will see him take more time away from his career.
He added in his statement, which was obtained by The Sun newspaper: “I have taken time away from work as I am not in a good place at the moment and am seeking help.
“I am trying to take each day at a time and would like to thank you to everyone for their support and for respecting our privacy at this time.”
Following confirmation of the split, sources have said Rylan will no doubt be back on air soon, but wanted to take enough time away to properly deal with things privately.
An insider said: “Rylan’s one of the most beloved people on TV so fans will be sad to hear what has happened.
“He often spoke of their relationship on air and they even co-hosted an episode of ‘This Morning’ but unfortunately things haven’t worked out.
“They don’t want to discuss it in public and a bit of time off is probably for the best for now.
“It’s one of those things. All those close to them wish them all the best.”
