This Morning presenter Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have announced their separation after more than a decade of marriage.
The TV stars met while presenting Fame Academy on the BBC in 2003 together, at which time Cat was married to her ex-husband Mark Whelan.
Their professional relationship quickly evolved into a personal one, and they got married in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome.
They also welcomed their son Milo in January 2016 and James in June 2018.
However, in a joint statement the couple have said: ‘We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.
‘We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.’
In 2023, Patrick took over from Ryan Tubridy as the host of The Late Late Show on Ireland’s RTE One channel in 2023
Cat was then unveiled as the new host of This Morning, alongside Ben Shepard, in February 2024.
Previously Cat told the sweet story of how her husband Patrick turned their friendship to romance by flying all the way from Belfast to Los Angeles for a brunch.
In 2020 the TV presenter told how Patrick ‘knocked my socks off’ with the gesture on the Made By Mammas podcast, where she discussed marriage and motherhood.
More to come.
