Alfie Boe ‘splits’ from wife after 16 years of marriage as he ‘joins celebrity dating app’

Alfie Boe, 46, and his wife Sarah have been together for 16 years and share two children. After deciding to split, it has been reported the English tenor is trying to move on by subscribing to celebrity dating app Raya.

The Sun claimed the couple had gone their separate ways after finding their relationship got “increasingly strained”.

However, the couple have pledged to remain “amicable” for the sake of their children.

A source told the publication: “Alfie has told women he’s been chatting to on Raya that his marriage is over and they are going to divorce.

“It seems lockdown was just too much for Alfie and Sarah. They have found their relationship increasingly strained and he says they’ve now made the decision to separate.

That customer then suggested he enter the open auditions for the D’Oyly Carte opera company.

Alfie previously told the publication: “At the audition, I was wearing a lumberjack shirt, T-shirt, jeans and boots.

“I looked around at all these suits and ball gowns, opera Kens and Barbies, and thought, ‘I don’t fit in here. This is wrong.’”

Only two weeks later, he was asked to join the chorus for the following tour.

However, Alfie always had dreams of becoming a rock star and thought classical training would help.

He said: “I was just a normal kid listening to The Stone Roses and The Charlatans.”

Speaking of his battle with alcohol, before going sober in 2014, Alfie revealed he would often end up drinking too much and losing control of himself.

“I could go months without a drink, but then I’d hit it hard. I’d drink too much and end up smashing up a room.”
