Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley have announced their separation after over a decade of marriage.
The Late Late Show host and the This Morning host have been a TV power couple since they began their relationship in 2011.
They tied the knot in 2012 and went on to welcome two sons, nine-year-old Milo and seven-year-old James.
This week, they announced that they have called time on their marriage.
“We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved,” they said in a joint statement released to PA.
“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.”
They now live in London together after spending years in the States where Cat presented So You Think You Can Dance.
While their romance began in 2011, they originally met in 2002 and struck up a friendship.
Speaking to former Late Late host Ryan Tubridy, Cat spoke about the moment their friendship evolved into something more.
“We had been friends for a very, very long time. Since we did Fame Academy and all that. We would always call each other on birthdays or Christmas, or we’d see each other occasionally or whatever it was,” she said back in 2020.
“Anyway, there was a night where it was the day before my birthday. I can’t even remember what birthday it was now! It was 30-something.
“Anyway, he called me and he spoke to me on the phone. He said, ‘Oh, what are you doing for your birthday? I’m just ringing to say happy birthday’
“I said, “Oh, we’re going to the Beverly Hills Hotel. We’re just going to have a late brunch; it’s going to be very civilised. It’s a shame you’re not here, otherwise, you could come”.’
She explained that Patrick was at home in Down at the time, came home from the pub, set an alarm nad flew out to Los Angeles.
“[He] walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel, dropped his bag at concierge and walked in. At which point I fell off my seat,” she shared.
“He then proceeded to be utterly charming to everybody around the table. Everybody slightly fell in love with him. As did I. And he didn’t go home for 10 days.”
