Despite the separation, Alesha and Azuka are putting their troubles aside and putting their family first.

The exes are still living under one roof with their two girls so that they can co-parent as effectively as possible.

In November, when news began circulating that Alesha and Azuka had called things off for good, it was reported that Alesha felt the relationship had become more of a friendship.

The family are fortunate in that their home has ample space for them to continue living under one roof despite no longer being in a relationship.

The former Mis-Teeq singer and MC lives with Azuka and their daughters reside in a stunning three-bedroom property in Welwyn Garden City, which is her hometown, in Hertfordshire.

The house is estimated to have cost around £1.5 million and has plenty of impressive features including huge walk-in wardrobes, a bespoke kitchen with marble features and a central island, a state-of-the-art gym with plenty of equipment and studio space, as well as ample space in their garden.

Alesha’s gym also has floor-to-ceiling mirrors and wooden flooring, with mats, a bench, weights and cardio equipment, as well as a television mounted on the wall, meaning the fitness fanatic can complete a killer workout from the comfort of her own home.

Alesha and Azuka split after 18 years

The pair have been together since circa 2006 and later welcomed their children. 

For a long time, the couple never married however in 2017 Alesha sparked reports that they had tied the knot by referring to him as her “lovely husband” during an appearance on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.

However, neither spoke out about whether a wedding in fact took place. If it did, the pair, who have always been quite private, decided to keep the details to themselves.

Prior to her relationship with Azuka, Alesha was married to So Solid Crew rapper Harvey for a year but split amid him cheating on her with singer Javine Hylton, a scandal that made headline news at the time.

Azuka was working as a dancer for Mis-Teeq before they became an item.
