Jeff, 43, revealed the pair went their separate ways "earlier this year" after almost a decade together.
He revealed that he and Kate - who met in 2013 and wed five years later - have moved out of their shared home.
"My nine-year relationship ended earlier in the year and I’ve been working through that on top of supporting someone close to me who is going through something difficult," he said.
"The boys and I have recently moved home to a new area & I spend most of the time alone as the boys obviously have their own things."

Fans think they spotted trouble for the pair after they weren't photographed together on social media since Kate's birthday.
The couple cosied up on the sofa together for the snap on July 10, as they looked to have headed out for lunch together.
Since then, Jeff has instead posed solo or alongside his two boys, Bobby, 19, and Freddie, 18, in a series of family snaps.
He dropped another hint just weeks later in a video with his sons, who he shared with the late Jade Goody, as they explained it was "just the three of them".

As Jeff asked the boys to name things they were grateful for, Bobby could be heard saying as they stood in the kitchen: "I'm grateful we are here as a trio for the first time."
Jeff then took to his Instagram grid to reveal he had jetted off to Thailand - where Kate was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, Kate was photographed posing in the mirror in Ibiza, cosying up to one of her pals as she gushed over their "unconditional friendship".
Since then, to make their split even clearer, it appears the pair have unfollowed each other on social media.
Jeff doesn't appear to follow Kate any more, despite her still going by her married name Kate Brazier on the site.
Today, Jeff revealed that he and Kate had split - four years after they were wed in 2018.
He shared: "It’s been constant change this year and I’m good with adapting but the combination of things have left me low at times.
"I’ve honestly never felt loneliness like it. Can we put Christmas back a few months?!"
Jeff went on to admit he was "struggling" as he reached out to his friends and followers for help and support.
"I have lots of great friends and I know they’re a phone call away but sometimes I find it hard to admit I’m struggling," he continued.
Hinting at how the death of his partner Jade in 2009 affected him, Jeff added: "I have to plug myself back in to the friendships that have supported me, surviving 14 years of my focus laying elsewhere.
"I know there are many of us out there that find it easier to support than be supported but here’s to a better balance of the two in 2023, we need it and deserve it."
Jeff has raised sons Bobby, 19, and Freddie, 18, ever since their mum, Big Brother’s Jade Goody, died from cancer 13 years ago.
He recently described fatherhood as his “life’s work”, hinting that with the boys growing up, Jeff will struggle without them.

“I always thought I was ready for it and I obviously saw it coming a mile off, but you can never really prepare yourself for the feeling of redundancy that takes place,” he told The Sun.
Bobby, who recently joined EastEnders as Freddie Slater, and Freddie, a model, lived at home in Essex with Jeff and Kate.
