Matthew Newton breaks his silence over rumours he’s split from his American wife as she debuts a shock makeover and new male friend in her life
Matthew Newton has denied that his marriage to Catherine Schneiderman is over following reports that he has moved from the Texas ranch the couple shared and returned to New York, where they first met in 2012.
Woman’s Day claimed the couple split after ‘a tough few years’.
“Matty has had some huge obstacles thrown his way over the past 24 months and the stress has just taken a toll on their relationship,” a source told the publication.
“Cat and Matthew had looked for a fresh start in Texas a few years ago, but unfortunately it didn’t work.”
The publication also claimed that his mother Patti, 79, is “concerned” about Matt and is considering flying to the United States to help him settle in New York.

It comes after reports emerged claiming Patti made a desperate plea to Matthew in November.
women’s Day claimed Patti was determined to have her son return to Melbourne for a reunion after years away from home and a series of scandals.
Matthew has not been home to Australia for years and did not return for his father’s funeral in 2021.
He enjoys a quiet and anonymous life in America after a series of scandals.
This includes allegations of domestic violence from two former girlfriends: Australian actresses Brooke Satchwell, 43, and Rachael Taylor, 39.
In 2007 he pleaded guilty to assaulting Satchwell. A judge would later overturn the conviction because Matthew suffered from a “major depressive disorder.”
Three years later, Matthew was given a two-year domestic violence order after Taylor reported he assaulted her in a hotel in Rome.
He was also arrested twice in Miami, Florida in 2012 – the first time for trespassing and resisting officers, while in a second incident he was charged with battery and resisting arrest after assaulting a hotel receptionist.
After the indictment, Matthew checked into the Betty Ford Center in California for 90 days of alcohol and drug treatment.
