David Walliams and his wife Lara Stone has split after five years together.
David, 43, was “devastated” when he agreed to a trial separation from Lara, 31. She left their London home and took the couple’s son Alfred and dog Bert with her.
“David has been putting on a brave face,” a source told The Sun.
“But people close to him are very worried because they know he’s devastated.”
The source said of her moving out their North London home: “It has stunned David’s friends and TV colleagues. “Everyone thought the marriage was strong.
“David is used to hiding his emotions with comedy because that’s what he’s always done.
“But on the inside it is a real wrench.”
David married Calvin Klien model Lara five years ago, and they welcomed son Alfred less than two years ago.
