In 1998, Perry landed the role as Billy Mitchell in EastEnders and Angela joined the cast of rival soap Corrie as Emma Watts in 2003.
Despite being known for having one of the strongest relationships in showbiz, they broke up 12 years ago.
A spokesperson for the couple said at the time: "Perry Fenwick and Angela Lonsdale have sadly separated after five years of marriage.
"They will not be making any further comment."
According to the Mirror, a source said: "They just ran out of love. They had a series of heart-to-hearts and decided to call it a day."
The pair are parents to three children, Lucy, Jayden and Isabella.
While Perry still plays Phil Mitchel's (Steve McFadden) cousin, Angela left Corrie and has since landed roles in Hollyoaks, Our Girl, Doctors and The Bill.
It has believed that Perry is currently single and Angela has been with guitarist Jonny Davies since 2016.
In Walford, it's set to be an emotional time for Billy as his granddaughter Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) continues to battle terminal cancer.
A guilty Phil recently arranged a job for Billy after he noticed that his relative was struggling financially.
Billy was initially against the offer and mouthed off at Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) who persuaded him to take the job, arguing that he can earn some much needed money for Lola in her declining health.
The arrival of Lola's mum Emma Harding (Patsy Kensit) rocked the family recently, leaving Billy felling pushed out.
Will Billy keep playing happy families for Lola's sake?
