Cat Deeley Faces Criticism From Patrick Kielty's Family Amid Marriage Split

Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty announced the end of their 12- to 13-year marriage in July 2025, emphasizing that no other party was involved and that they remain united as loving parents to their two sons. Cat Deeley returned to co-host ITV's This Morning after the summer break but has chosen not to discuss the breakup on air due to anxiety and a desire to keep the show upbeat. She has faced criticism and blame from Patrick's family and others for not attending his mother’s funeral in March, a decision she defended as prioritizing her children during a difficult time. This absence has caused lasting emotional strain within Kielty's family, who view it as a sign there was little chance of reconciliation. Despite the personal challenges and public scrutiny, Cat aims to maintain privacy around the situation and focus on positive interactions with viewers on the show. Sources emphasize that both parties are experiencing pain and that the split is a complex, mutual situation rather than the fault of one individual.
