I am local, yes, and it's not a rumour. As I said, it was well known that he was into men long before he met his wife!
I'm sure they do always go away in Winter, I don't think anyone is disputing that, but I remember seeing her Insta posts and stories at the time and thinking "wow, she must be thinking of ending it this time" when there was absolutely no mention of him for days. Then suddenly it was all "date night" and "amazing dad" again, so they must have decided to try again.
I hope for both their sakes things are good between them now and everything is settled in such a way that they are both happy and satisfied, but I have to say, I'd hate to be in her situation, money or no money.
