She announced their split in an interview with You magazine, saying: “I made him fall in love with me. But you know, we’re not together anymore.
“Our marriage is over and we’ve been separated for quite some time. I didn’t talk about it because it’s not fair to everyone involved.
“There are four children to think about. It’s taken a tremendous amount of time, but we’re all getting through it in a healthy way.
When asked at the time how she was coping on her own, Anna added: “I’m definitely not a single working mother. Roger is amazing. I feel incredibly supported.
“He’s great and we also have a great nanny and my mum helps with the girls so everything is fine.
“Roger was and is very special in my life… When I met him he made me feel like my person, although things don’t always work out. But you live on.’
