Britain's biggest family grows even bigger as mum-of-22 Sue Radford gets 14th grandchild
While she chose not to elaborate on their relationship, her Instagram handle still reads Sophoe Broadley.
But the separation may not come as a surprise to fans of the family's TV show.
Last August, in an episode of '22 Kids & Counting,' Sophie broke down in tears and revealed that she had hit rock bottom.
During the run-up to her 30th birthday, she reflected on how her life had changed since becoming a mother.
She said: "Usually people in their twenties are out partying, but my twenties were very different, I had three kids, all within a year between them.
"It's hard going, it's definitely hard going. It's the same routine every day, it's so full on, all the time."
Who's who in the Radford family?
The Radfords are Britain's biggest family with 22 children.
Here are the kids from eldest to youngest include:
Sophie - born December 13, 1993
Jack - born April 9, 1997
Daniel - born March 3, 1999
Oscar - born October 22, 2011
The mum also acknowledged that her relationship with Joe had suffered since having children.
She revealed: "With me and Joe, we used to go out to cinemas, out for meals, go out shopping, do all sorts of things. Had things and it all stopped.
"Because I've seen my mum and dad so happy, I do feel like I should be like that as well. However, it's not for everyone."
Sophie also opened up about how she felt about her body, explaining: "I used to be fit as a fiddle and I've let myself go a bit.
"Confidence completely shattered.
"I've realised I'm not as fit as I used to be and I don't look as good as I used to.
"I don't like my legs, I don't like my belly, I don't like my arms, I just don't like anything, at all."
Even Sue Radford, recognised the strain Sophie was feeling.
She said: "Sophie is a very busy mum, she does long hours at work, she's up early in the morning.
"And I sometimes feel, is she stuck in a rut.
"I'm not wanting to interfere, but she seems to be in a really bad place, and I'm not sure I can leave it any longer.
"She seems quiet and distant recently."
While the family rallied around Sophie back in August 2024, organising a birthday trip to Amsterdam in a bid to
cheer
her up, it is obvious the effects were short-lived.

William's call came in a speech to the Blue Economy and Finance Forum on ocean preservation at the ­Grimaldi Forum in Monaco after meeting France's President Emmanuel Macron. The prince, whose opening and closing remarks were in French, said those attending were 'united by our deep connection to the ocean and our ­concern for its safety'.

Speaking at the heads of state and government session on the forum's final day, the prince added: 'Watching human activity reduce beautiful sea forests to barren deserts at the base of our oceans is simply heartbreaking. 'For the future of our planet, for the future generations, we must listen to the words of Sir David Attenborough: 'If we save the sea, we save our world'. 'I call on all of you to think big in your actions.' World leaders were greeted by a blue carpet as they arrived at the event, with William chatting with Mr Macron and other dignitaries. Addressing an audience of 1,800, William said: 'Rising sea temperatures, plastic pollution and overfishing are putting pressure on fragile ecosystems. 'What once seemed an abundant resource is diminishing before our eyes. We all stand to be impacted. And we are all responsible for change — both negative and positive. But there remains time to turn this tide.' Later, William said he went through a range of emotions when he saw Sir David's new Ocean film. He told Enric Sala, who worked on the film: 'I got angry, then sad, then I got frustrated, then I got happy.'
