Tess Daly has been seen wearing her wedding ring in new modelling photos for her luxury swimwear collection with Naia Beach, despite her recent separation from husband Vernon Kay. The 57-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing host shared the images on Instagram, where they were liked by her estranged husband.
The couple announced their split last month after 22 years of marriage, releasing a joint statement on Instagram. They said the decision was made amicably, with no other parties involved, and emphasised their commitment to co-parenting their two daughters, Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16.
Despite the separation, Tess and Vernon have remained on good terms. They were seen partying together at the Pub In The Park festival in Buckinghamshire, where Vernon was also spotted wearing his wedding ring. The event was attended by mutual friends, including actor Will Mellor.
Tess's recent photos, taken in Greece, received praise from her eldest daughter, who commented “OK STUNNNNINGGG,” and from former Strictly winner Tasha Ghouri. Vernon liked the post but did not leave a comment.
The couple's relationship had previously weathered a sexting scandal in 2010, when Vernon was caught sending inappropriate messages to glamour model Rhian Sugden. At the time, Tess took him back, and Vernon publicly apologised, calling his actions “stupid and foolish.”
