Television presenter Cat Deeley has ushered in the New Year with a positive reflection on the past twelve months, sharing a vibrant montage of her 2025 highlights and branding it "a lot of fun".
A Year of Change and Celebration
The 49-year-old This Morning host posted the cheerful carousel to social media as 2026 began. This public display of gratitude comes in the wake of her separation from husband Patrick Kielty, 54. The couple announced the end of their 12-year marriage in a joint statement last summer, though they vowed to remain "united as loving parents" to their two young sons.
Speculation about trouble in the marriage first surfaced when Cat was notably absent from the funeral of Patrick's mother in Ireland during March 2025. The pair, who first met in 2002 on the BBC's Fame Academy, are believed to have divorced quietly approximately a year before making the news public.
Highlights From a Busy Year
Deeley's "Goodbye 2025" video showcased a mixture of professional triumphs and personal joys. A significant moment featured was This Morning's Daytime win at the National Television Awards (NTAs) in 2025, with the host sharing the stage with colleagues including Alison Hammond and Ben Shephard.
The montage also offered glimpses into her life off-screen. It included lighthearted moments testing red light therapy masks with co-host Ben Shephard, laughing with McFly stars Harry Judd and Danny Jones, and enjoying a glass of rosé with her mother, Janet, on holiday. Family life was a clear focus, with scenes featuring her sons, Milo and James, though their faces were not shown.
Notable family moments she chose to share included getting rapper MC Grammar to sign a copy of his Rap Kid book for the boys and a Minecraft-themed cake for son James's 7th birthday. The compilation also hinted at a trip to a farm to see piglets.
Looking Forward to 2026
As she steps into the new year as a newly single woman, Cat Deeley appears focused on the future and the positive memories she has created. Captioning her post, she wrote: "A lot of fun, A big bunch of friends and a whole lot more to come in 2026! #happynewyears".
Her upbeat social media entry suggests a determination to celebrate life's lighter moments, even amidst significant personal change. The statement released by the former couple last summer requested privacy for their family, emphasising that no other party was involved in their separation.
