Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley are both known for their successful broadcast careers – with Cat being the most recent host of ITV’s This Morning
Patrick Kielty has been seen for the first time since his sudden split from Cat Deeley after 13 years of marriage. The pair recently announced that they would be going their separate ways after more than a decade together, much to the shock of fans.
However, he has now been spotted out and about as he went to purchase some wine on Saturday. He broke his cover this weekend as he ventured out of his London home and went to a nearby shop.
The 54-year-old went for a casual look as he wore a grey T-shirt along with a pair of jeans and Crocs. He covered his face up with a pair of sunglasses as he carried a shopping bag filled with his purchases. It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK ‘really hard’ before split from Patrick Kielty.

Patrick and the This Morning presenter announced last week that they would be ending their marriage. The couple share two sons, Milo, seven and James, five.
They both stressed that “no other party” was involved in the reason for their split. They released a joint statement as they told their fans that they were no longer together.
The pair wrote: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. 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.”
Cat and Patrick first crossed paths when they were both hosting BBC’s Fame Academy together in 2002, but it wasn’t until 2011 that they finally decided to take their friendship to a romantic level.
The two tied the knot a year later in September 2012 at a ceremony in Rome. Insiders have since claimed that it was their equally busy work schedules that got in the way and drove a wedge between their marriage.
Cat has hosted ITV’s This Morning alongside Ben Shephard since early last year, and previously lived in Los Angeles for more than 10 years. Meanwhile, Northern Irish presenter Patrick is the host of RTE talk show The Late Late Show, having taken over from Ryan Tubridy in 2023.
Despite living in the UK, Patrick would travel to Dublin every week to present the show from the RTE studios. Due to their clashing schedules, it was reported that it became difficult for Patrick and Cat to spend quality time together.
The source said: “It is such sad news. They were so happy after they moved back to London, and would talk about their grand plans to renovate the house for the family.
“But sadly, as so often happens with relationships, work got in the way and it put a huge strain on the marriage.” Cat and Patrick hadn’t been pictured together in public for over a year and Cat also missed Patrick’s mother’s funeral in March but this was put down to the mum-of-two looking after their sons.
