Luke Stoltman's wife has revealed the pair were planning another baby she found out he had been having an affair. Kushi, 31, revealed last month Luke, 39, been enjoying secret liaisons with a female weightlifter while she cared for their 10-month-old son.
She explained how the trysts had been happening while their son was unwell in hospital. Luke, from Invergordon, Ross-shire, admitted making "mistakes" and pleaded for privacy while he battled to save his marriage.
However, Kushi has now explained in a heartfelt video on YouTube the couple, who lived together at Easter Ross in the Highlands, have split up and she is coming to terms with living as a single mum.
She said: "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that things have happened this way because there were plans to have another baby in January. That's obviously not happening anymore.
"I was going to give Koa a sibling so that's no longer on the cards. Those plans have been well and truly cancelled."

Kushi explained how Luke has shown little remorse and says she has found his treatment of her since she found out about the affairs to be more 'horrific'. She continued: "Even though what was done was really horrible, although that was horrific, somehow the treatment since has been more surprising and horrific.
"Just zero remorse or empathy to the situation which I think I struggle with the most. It's all a big confusion, a big stab to the heart.
"My whole world has just been turned upside down, I'm still married but no longer with my husband and I need to raise a 10-month-old baby as a single mum so it kind of feels like I'm drowning right now. I just feel like everything is just numb still.
"I still feel empty inside, just hollow like the lights are on but nobody's home. I feel like a robot, I don't know how the day has gone from start to finish.
"There's been days I just haven't eaten. I don't feel like I've been in a worse place in my life which is really sad to say because I have this beautiful baby. But my whole future was robbed from me and I'm grieving the life I had and the person I loved so much."
Kushi previously featured Luke on her YouTube channel and they even included a video of them on holiday this year with their son Koa. Now, she is facing up to her son's first birthday and Christmas as a single parents and says she is at 'rock bottom'
She added: "It's Koa's first Christmas which will hopefully still be as magical as I can make for him and then it's the New Year and Koa will be turning one. I'm at rock bottom in my life right now so it would be hard to get any worse.
"I'm just not going to be this blubbering mess, sad, depressed for the rest of my life, it's not in my nature, it's not who I am. I just need the time to heal and process things and move forward."
Luke is currently Europe’s Strongest Man claiming the title for the fifth time. Nicknamed the Highland Oak, he is the older brother of current World’s Strongest Man Tom Stoltman.
Tom’s wife Sinead was among those who sent support to her sister-in-law.
Previously posting on his Instagram, Stoltman wrote: "I want to acknowledge the pain caused to my family, friends and community by recent social media and news. I regret the mistakes that I have made and the impact they've had, especially on my family, Kushi and my son, who is my world. While not everything shared is true, I want to be clear that I was with my son in hospital.
"I am committed to acting responsibly and rebuilding the trust of those who feel let down. I am deeply grateful for those who continue to support me, and my focus remains on charging for my son and supporting those affected by this situation.”
