		</div><p>Nicola Sturgeon and her husband Peter Murrell have “decided to end our marriage”, the former first minister of Scotland has said.</p>
<p>They have been married since 2010 but, in a post on Instagram, the former leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) said “to all intents and purposes we have been separated for some time now”.</p>
<p>She wrote: “With a heavy heart I am confirming that Peter and I have decided to end our marriage.</p>
<p>“To all intents and purposes we have been separated for some time now and feel it is time to bring others up to speed with where we are.</p>

<p>“It goes without saying that we still care deeply for each other, and always will.</p>
<p>“We will be making no further comment.”</p>
<p>Mr Murrell is a former chief executive of the SNP.</p>
<p>The one-time power couple of the SNP have been under investigation by police as part of a probe into party finances.</p>
<p>As part of the investigation, known as Operation Branchform, Police Scotland charged Mr Murrell in April 2024 in connection with alleged embezzlement of SNP funds.</p>
<p>Ms Sturgeon was questioned by police in June 2023 – with her arrest coming after those of her husband and the then SNP treasurer, Colin Beattie.</p>
<p>Neither Ms Sturgeon nor Mr Beattie, both of whom were released pending further investigation, have been charged.</p>
<p>In December, Ms Sturgeon said she knows “nothing more” about the investigation than she did when arrested.</p>
