Opposition leader Adrian Delia has officially reacted to the breaking of this morning’s news that his wife Nickie Vella de Fremeaux had officially sent him a legal letter requesting a marital separation.

“My wife Nickie and I are passing through a difficult period,” Delia said. “I will keep doing my utmost to protect the wellbeing of our family and our children and to this end I humbly ask for our family’s privacy to be respected, at this delicate moment more than ever.”

The news of the separation was broken by Manuel Delia earlier this morning, and was then confirmed by this website. It is understood that Vella de Fremeaux sent a letter to the PN headquarters sometime last week and that Delia has left the marital home in Si??iewi.
