Comedian David Walliams splits from wife Lara Stone after 5 years of marriage.

Comedian David Walliams has reportedly 'split' from his model wife Lara Stone.According to The Sun newspaper, the 43-year-old comedian and his 31-year-old model spouse  the mother of his son Alfred, two, have agreed on a trial separation.

The publication reports that Lara left their London home on Tuesday night, leaving David 'devastated'  adding that he is determined to win her back.
Lara, who is 12 years David's junior, took Alfred and the couple's dog Bert with her when she left their North London home.
A source close to the comedian said: 'David has been putting on a brave face. But people close to him are very worried because they know he's devastated.

News of their split has come as a huge surprise to friends despite the fact they have barely been seen together over the past six months.

David and Lara attended Elton John's wedding to David Furnish together on December  21 and two days later watched the London production of Edwards Scissorhands together, which was the last time they were seen out in public together.

The insider told the newspaper that his friends are shocked by the split as they thought the marriage was strong  but friends are hoping they will get back together.

The source said: 'David hopes it is a blip and that they can get the marriage back on track somehow, especially seeing as there is a child involved.'

Lara's last tweet was on Monday, when she posted something about work. She wrote: '#BTS for lorealparisofficial #Elvive #fibralogy #shampoo #XLhair #worthit #LorealParis.'

David wrote something similarly professional Tuesday evening, posting:
'See what Kate Moss & I got up to on our @RedNoseDay @comicrelief shoot with @RimmelLondonUK #GetTheRedNoseLook.'

The alleged split has happened almost five years after they tied the knot.

David and Lara began dating in September 2009 after David took her to a Chelsea football match with the funnyman later filling her home with flowers.
