A source said Wenger, 65, and Annie, who married in December 2010 after a long term relationship, had “not been happy for a while”.
“They decided this was the best course of action to take.”
Wenger received an OBE with his wife by his side at the Foreign and Commonwealth office from Jack Straw in 2003 but they have not been seen with each other publicly since October 2013.
In an interview in 2008 he revealed how he promised to quit football for his wife.
“They have divided up their assets and agreed a financial package to separate. He said: "Ten years ago I said to my wife [Annie], ‘Five more years and that’s all’, and I am still here.
“It is difficult to find time to see them but there are jobs [which are worse]. You have guys who leave for work on Monday and come back on Friday.
“In my job I travel, but the problem is not so much the quantity of time you spend with your family, it is the quality.
“That is where this job is more damaging. You do not always give them the quality they deserve when you are at home because you are thinking of the next game.”
He added: “My wife likes watching football, she watches all the games of Arsenal at home. She is not a fanatic but she likes watching sports. No, she does not have much choice.”
A spokesman for Arsenal where Wenger has been manager for 19 years said: “He is an employee and we do not talk about emloyees’ personal issues".

First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and
clear your mind prior to writing. I've had difficulty clearing my
mind in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure
in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Thanks!
