Cat Deeley worries Patrick Kielty is struggling with split as she moves out

Cat Deeley is concerned that her estranged husband, Patrick Kielty, is having difficulty coping with their split as she moves out of their north London rental property. The This Morning host, 48, and comedian, 54, announced their separation in July after 12 years of marriage. On Saturday, a photo obtained by The Sun showed a removal van outside the couple’s London home, with movers loading boxes along with lamps and chairs. Kielty is believed to be staying at the rental property, which sits a short distance from the couple’s £5 million five-bedroom “forever home,” a property they bought two years ago and have been renovating.

According to a source cited by The Sun, Deeley is worried Kielty seems to be taking longer to adjust to the end of their marriage. The informant said she still cares for him and hopes he remains in a good place for their two sons and for himself, noting the public nature of the split and Kielty’s workload as added pressures. Deeley has not commented publicly on the specifics of their separation, but relatives have indicated she is prioritizing their children as this transition continues.

Daily Mail has contacted Deeley’s and Kielty’s representatives for comment. In July, the couple issued a joint statement confirming their decision to separate and asking for privacy as they navigate the situation: “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.”

The article notes that Kielty’s family had previously conveyed their mounting distress over Deeley’s absence at Kielty’s mother’s funeral in March, describing it as a moment that underscored the strains within the marriage and signaling to relatives that reconciliation was unlikely. A family member recalled that many in their close-knit Northern Ireland community expected Deeley to be by Kielty’s side for the funeral, and that her absence left a lasting impression on those who knew the couple.

Beyond the personal fallout, the split has also raised questions about the fate of the couple’s joint real estate project. Friends have said the divorce could become complicated over the £5 million five-bedroom property they purchased together and began renovating in 2023, a project that had become central to their lives over the past two years. While both parties have stressed their commitment to co-parenting, talks about the property and its management during the separation process have reportedly grown more tense, reflecting the real-world implications of a high-profile separation on family, finances, and long-foreseen renovation plans.

As the two sides navigate the transition, those close to the former couple emphasize that the focus remains squarely on their children. Deeley and Kielty have repeatedly underscored their intent to maintain稳定 parenting and shield their boys from public scrutiny, a stance that has been echoed by associates who say the family is seeking a discreet and respectful path forward. The broader public will likely hear more about the arrangement as both sides determine how best to balance privacy with the ongoing demands of their careers in television and comedy.
