Scottish songstress KT Tunstall has split from her husband of four years, drummer Luke Bullen.

The 37-year-old singer is set to divorce Bullen, also a fellow musician, although the reason for their break-up remains unknown.

According to the Scottish Sun, a spokesperson for the star confirmed that they had been separated for 'several months'.

Dave Woolf told the publication: 'They are now going to proceed with a divorce. I don’t know any more details.'

The singer, whose real name is Kate Victoria, began dating 39-year-old Luke back in 2003, before hitting the big time with her album Eye To The Telescope.

The couple tied the knot on the Isle of Skye in 2008, in a ceremony that resembled more of a music festival than a wedding.

During the romantic day KT, who is from Fife, exchanged her vows in a marquee overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

The stunning location was picked after the singer fell in love with the island while on holiday there. 

For their honeymoon, the couple are thought to have enjoyed a backpacking trip around the world, travelling to South America, India and New Zealand.

While the pair are no longer together, the first few years of marriage certainly seemed like happy ones for them.

Help: In the past the singer has said that her husband has helped her to beat the blues and she was looking forward to becoming a mother

Back in 2010 KT opened up about how her marriage had helped her beat the blues. 

'Being married has been brilliant. It's been hugely liberating,' she said. 'You can waste a lot of energy wondering whether you're with the right person. Once you get married, that disappears.

'Luke's taught me to be more independent, and I'm glad he's there to keep me on the straight and narrow when we're on the road. You can't be a mess in front of the person you love.'

She also revealed that she was hoping to become a mother, saying: ‘Fingers crossed, motherhood is down the line for me. It would be a brilliant next thing for me.’

The singer rose to fame in 2004 on the back of a spellbinding TV debut on BBC2's Later With Jools Holland, the Scots singer - raised by two Fife academics as Katie Tunstall after being adopted as a baby - became one of Britain's most consistent hit-makers.

A spokesperson for KT has been contacted for comment.
