He has been married to wife Steph since 1993.
Speaking on Saturday Morning Live, he explained: “The future looks unsure. It’s a work in progress.
“I don’t actually know to be honest. I’m living every day as it comes. We all love each other and see each other. As a family, we will take that forward.”
Phil feels ‘confused’ about his identity
Phil recently admitted that he’s trying to ‘figure out who he is’ after he made the announcement.
He was married to Stephanie Lowe for 27 years and they are parents to daughters Ruby, 24 and Molly, 27.
Speaking on the Happy Place podcast last week, he said: “I probably know less of who I am than I did before.
“This is my life and my head. There’s no questioning, I have pressed the nuke button, as I say. And I am still learning what that means.
“I’m still learning what effects [coming out] has on my life and those around me.”

He continued: “Do I know who I am? No. I think if I’m honest, looking you right in the eye now, I’d say I’m still pretty confused.”
He added: “My head’s just as muddy as it was before.”
