Cat Deeley, Patrick Kielty Confirm 13-Year Marriage Split

Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have publicly confirmed their separation after 13 years of marriage and share two sons, Milo and James. Cat was recently spotted in Spain looking downcast and without her wedding ring, dining with friend and celebrity hair stylist Ben Skervin, while Patrick has been seen in London and at his family home in Northern Ireland, where he has moved into what is described as a 'divorce house.' The split reportedly followed a strain in their relationship, highlighted by Cat's absence from Patrick's mother's funeral earlier this year, which led his family to realize the marriage was ending. Patrick appeared somber during recent outings, including a trip to the shops near their London home, and has previously spoken about feeling unequal in their relationship and reluctant to ask Cat for advice. Both have requested privacy as they continue to co-parent their children amid the separation. The couple met in 2002 while hosting Fame Academy and married in 2012 before their recent announcement of separation.
