They were a married couple.
Founded in 1994, Emma Peel recorded and released four albums in total with different personnel, Harmsen and Ten Holt being the only permanent members. The eponymous début album, Emma Peel, came out in 2001, followed by Microgynon Girl in 2005.
Then, in November 2011, Bibian Harmsen was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and a life expectancy of less than a year. She insisted on finishing the band's third album, which they were already working on, knowing she was unlikely to ever hear the finished product. Songs were recorded in between chemo sessions, with Klaas and Bibian knowing these were going to be their final recording sessions together.
Bibian died in July 2012, just forty-one years old. Klaas and their three young children carried on without her.
Just before her death she wrote a book ('Paniekspinnen'), which was published posthumously with an all-acoustic Emma Peel CD, (Consolation, as a companion.
In 2018 and 2019 Ten Holt finalized the record intended to be album #3 and, almost seven years after Bibian's death, decided to release it. It is called Ponderosa (2019).
Bibian and Klaas never split up, not as a band and most definitely not as a couple.
According to the band's website Klaas ten Holt works on a new Emma Peel album, the first without Bibian.

When I was a kid. I love love love The Avengers. I thought they was cool and I wanted to kick ass like Ms. Peele. Before Charlie Angels, Diana Riggs was the female ass kicker. And look good wearing leather. I am so sad to hear the passing of Diana Riggs. I love her in Game of Thrones and other Masterpieces Series. Her impact on television that crossover from the UK in America taught whole different world. From a little girl of color. Lived in Public Housing was inspired a female kick ass hero from England. Diana, your acting is spot on and as always inspirational. RIP.

a superb tv show with two superbly charming leads
