BBC Radio 2 star Zoe Ball has revealed that her relationship with ex-husband Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim, is now 'better than ever'. The 52-year-old broadcaster, who split from the music producer in 2016 after 18 years of marriage, shared the heartwarming update during a recent interview.
Zoe's father, beloved TV personality Johnny Ball, also weighed in on the situation, expressing his delight at how well the former couple now get along. 'They've both moved on, but they've found a way to be fantastic friends,' the 85-year-old veteran entertainer said.
A Strong Co-Parenting Bond
The pair, who share two children together, have clearly prioritised maintaining a healthy relationship for their family. 'We've worked hard at it,' Zoe admitted, 'and now we're in such a good place. Norman's an amazing dad and we've got this lovely dynamic now.'
From Marriage to Friendship
Zoe and Norman married in 1999 after meeting at a party in Brighton. Their separation in 2016 came as a shock to fans, but both have since found new partners while keeping their friendship intact. 'It's not always easy when relationships change,' Zoe reflected, 'but we've both grown and learned so much.'
Johnny Ball added his perspective: 'What matters is that they're both happy and the children are happy. That's all any parent wants.'
