After a year of emotional recovery following her shocking split from Patrick Kielty, TV presenter Cat Deeley has finally found love again. The beloved This Morning host, who spent 13 years married to comedian Patrick, is said to be “over the moon” with her new relationship, as insiders reveal that Cat has cautiously opened her heart once more.
“Cat is happy again,” a close friend tells heat. “It’s been a long journey, but she’s found someone who makes her feel secure, loved, and appreciated. It’s a beautiful new chapter for her.”
The couple’s breakup was announced in July 2025, just four months after the death of Patrick’s mother, Mary. Despite the end of their marriage, Cat and Patrick remain committed to co-parenting their two sons, Milo, 10, and James, 7. The divorce, while difficult, was not a sudden decision, with sources revealing that the marriage had been gradually unraveling long before the announcement.
Since the breakup, Cat has focused on her career, co-hosting This Morning and spending quality time with her children and close friends. Last year, she even took a trip to Spain to recharge, and earlier this year, she reunited with Hollywood producer Jeff Thacker, who helped launch her U.S. TV career in the 1990s.
However, it was her circle of friends who played a crucial role in encouraging Cat to embrace a new love. Ruth Langsford, former This Morning host and close friend, offered invaluable advice. “Ruth has been a guiding light for Cat, reminding her that she deserves happiness and a fresh start,” says the insider. “Ruth has shared her own experiences of navigating single life, and that’s inspired Cat to take the leap.”
The new relationship is still in its early stages, but those close to Cat say she is feeling more confident and optimistic than ever. “She’s cautious, of course, but Cat feels like she’s finally found someone who understands her,” says the source. “After everything she’s been through, she’s ready to embrace love again and make the most of this new chapter in her life.”
Cat herself has been open about her journey of healing and self-discovery. “It’s been a tough time, but I’m in a good place now,” she told friends. “I’m looking forward to what the future holds, and I know it’s time to move on.”
As she navigates this exciting new chapter, Cat remains focused on being a dedicated mother to her children and continuing her successful career. But now, with a new love by her side, it seems that brighter days lie ahead for the TV star.
“Love is a beautiful thing,” Cat says. “And I’m ready to embrace it fully.”
