Patrick Kielty, Cat Deeley Announce Separation After 13-Year Marriage

Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley announced their separation after 13 years of marriage, raising concerns among friends and locals in Dundrum, Northern Ireland, about the potential impact on Kielty, especially if Deeley were to move back to the US with their children. Kielty has expressed feeling like a "junior shareholder" in the marriage, revealing that he believed their relationship was 50/50 initially but later felt less influential in decision-making. He also admitted to avoiding asking Deeley for advice during their marriage, seeing it as a sign of weakness despite her greater industry experience. The couple had relocated from Los Angeles to London, a move primarily driven by Deeley's desire to be closer to family support after becoming a mother. Deeley’s role on ITV’s This Morning has been under scrutiny, with insiders suggesting the family drama might influence her decision to continue or leave the show, noting she has more lucrative opportunities in the US. Both have emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their two sons while requesting privacy during this difficult time.
