Prior to her breakup with Patrick Kielty, she was previously questioned about whether she would renew her wedding vows. She later explained why it was never on her radar.
ITV presenter Cat Deeley had insisted she wouldn’t renew her wedding vows with Patrick Kielty years before their shock split was announced. The TV duo revealed their marriage of 13 years is over in a statement on Tuesday.
Cat had previously stated that she had no desire to wed her Northern Irish husband again despite the surprising news. She instead stated that she “barely did my own wedding” in terms of preparation for her big day.
On September 29, in a private ceremony in Italy, Cat and Patrick tied the knot. From 2001 to 2006, she was married to PR executive Mark Whelan.

And speaking to Closer she revealed her thoughts. She explained how she didn’t have much input into her second big day. Instead, she admitted she left the planning solely in Patrick’s hands. She trusted him so much that she had never even seen her wedding venue, St Isidore’s College in Rome, prior to her wedding ceremony.
She added after being asked about potential renewing of vows: “I don’t care, as long as everybody was there and had a good time – it doesn’t bother me.
Plus, I get to dress up and attend really special events all the time, so it wasn’t the most exciting thing to happen.
In 2002, the couple first met while simultaneously hosting BBC’s Fame Academy. They were both in relationships at the time, though. Before tying the knot a year later, they only made their first public appearance in a couple of years, in 2011, in 2011. They have two children of their own.
Their joint statement, which announced their split, read, “We have made the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. No other party is involved, at all.
We will continue to be one loving family, and we kindly request that you respect our family’s privacy. There won’t be any more comments.
It’s unclear exactly when the couple split, but they had been spending time apart due to conflicting schedules in Ireland and London. The last time Cat referenced Patrick on her Instagram account came in October 2023 a month after their last public appearance.
They both appeared to be having fun together while they were visiting Saint Tropez last summer. Cat and Cat both stood in the sea during a day trip to the beach in France and soaked up the sun. The Irish comedian wrapped his hands around his wife’s waist as the couple apparently couldn’t keep their hands off each other at the time.
However, in March this year, Cat missed husband Patrick’s mum’s funeral in Northern Ireland. At the time, a spokesperson told the Mirror that Cat had remained at home to care for their young sons Milo and James. They said: “Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day.”
