Jenson Button and Jessica Michibata in 'amicable' split as they have 'discussions over F1 driver's £35m fortune'

The pair's separation comes less than a year after they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii

Jenson Button and wife Jessica Michibata's separation was completely "amicable", a spokesperson for the racing driver has said.

The ex-Formula One world champion and underwear model Jessica wed last December after five years of dating, but the pressures of their jobs, keeping them in different parts of the world, has taken its toll.
