Rumours of a potential reconciliation have been around for years but the Duchess of York has finally addressed them, giving some insight into the private lives of the divorced couple.
"We are co-parents who support each other and believe that family is everything. I'm proud of the job we have done together in bringing up our children and sustaining a strong family unit. Our bywords are communication, compromise and compassion."
In the interview, the duchess says there is "no one" currently in her life but also adds that she finds the idea of dating in a pandemic "a nightmare".
"I will say this: I feel very sorry for young people trying to date during this pandemic. It must be a nightmare! In answer to your question, there's no one in my life," she said.
The couple have always put together a united front at all times, even when controversy surrounding Prince Andrew's friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to light.
"My duty is to him. I am so proud of him. I stand by him and always will. The way we are is our fairy tale. Although we are not a couple, we really believe in each other. The Yorks are a united family. We've shown it," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2018.
The couple are happy co-parents of daughters Eugenie and Beatrice.
