Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have announced their separation and intention to divorce, ending a marriage that began in September 2012. The couple, who share two sons, Milo (9) and James (7), released a joint statement on Tuesday July 29 confirming their decision.
The statement read: '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.'
Rumours of trouble had been circulating since earlier in 2025 when Deeley missed the funeral of Kielty's mother Mary in March. An ITV spokesperson explained at the time that Deeley stayed home to care for their children before and after school.
Further signs included a lack of social media posts featuring each other since 2023 and 2024, and the couple not being photographed together since 2023. Deeley had previously expressed disinterest in renewing vows, telling Closer magazine she 'barely even did my own wedding' and was uninvolved in the planning.
