Personal life

Harvey began dating singer Alesha Dixon in 2000 and the two were married in June 2005.

In September 2009, Hylton and Harvey separated due to Harvey's alleged infidelity. A spokesman for Javine confirmed their break-up, saying: "Javine has left Harvey and the family home for a myriad of reasons. The main crunch came when she found evidence of him being unfaithful. She now wants to be left alone to regroup, resettle and care for her daughter Angel."
