In a statement to the PA news agency on Friday, the spokesperson said: 'After 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, Alan Carr and Paul Drayton would like to announce they are separating.
'They have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go their separate ways. We request that their privacy is respected at this sensitive time.'
The couple married in January 2018, with Alan's close friend Adele, who he has known since she was 19 officiating the ceremony. The wedding took place at the singer's California home.
Speaking to The One Show shortly after the nuptials, Alan revealed the singer got ordained so that she could perform the marriage itself.
Alan confessed: 'Yeah, [it was] in January. We got married in Adele’s back garden, in LA. I’m not giving you any postcodes! She’s known me and Paul for ages.
'She said: "I want to do your special day. I want to do everything". She got ordained and she married us. She is the kindest, most sweetest. She flew us to Vegas to see Celine Dion sing. She [Adele] sang my first dance. It was the best day of my life.'
'It was lovely. I just want to tell everyone. She won’t say because she’s so private. Flowers, three-course meal, she just planned it all. It was the best day of our life.'

Alan and Paul tied the knot after ten years of romance and went on to honeymoon in Los Cabos in Mexico.
Back in 2016, the couple were on holiday in Indonesia when Paul popped the question. Alan thought he had had a dental accident while chowing down on his dessert - only to reveal his beau had hidden an engagement ring in the pudding.
Alan has spoken about supporting Paul through his battle with alcoholism, writing about the struggles in his 2016 book ALANATOMY.
He said: 'I want to be there for him because he's the best thing that's happened to me and I've got to support him and everything.'
