As her estranged parents rekindle their friendship, Zoe Ball and Fatboy Slim’s rarely seen daughter enjoyed a night out with her famous father.
The famous exes welcomed their son, Woody, into the world in 2000 and ten years later they became parents to their daughter, Nelly. Sadly radio star Zoe, 54, and DJ Norman Cook, 61, called time on their relationship in 2016 and announced that they’d “come to the end of our rainbow”.
By co-parenting their children, Zoe and Norman have spent more time together than in years since her decision to leave BBC Radio 2 and remain significant in each other’s lives. She resigned from her breakfast show in December to “focus on her family” and quit working in a nearby cafe.
Norman and Zoe have taken a step back from the public eye, and Norman treated their daughter Nelly to a glamorous O2 Arena showbiz bash. As they attended the F1 75 Live, they had some father-daughter time in the capital. In one of Nelly’s rare public appearances, Norman beamed as he held his arm around her.

Last week, her brother Woody shared how their family has been “working on lots of puzzles” and is re-entergizing after quitting her job at the BBC.
Woody acknowledged that it has been “funny” to see his “crazy party” parents Zoe and Norman leave their wild nights on the town for a more wholesome lifestyle. “In the last five years, it’s been funny watching my parents take up gardening both of them”, he shared. These crazy partygoers, who I grew up with, now work in the neighborhood cafe, garden, and make puzzles. He told MailOnline, “It’s very funny to watch that transitional period, just as I’m sort of leaving the nest and starting something significant for me in music.”

Woody also addressed his mother’s decision to leave BBC Radio 2 by saying that he is pleased that he now has much more time with her. He confessed: “It’s lovely seeing my mum more, because obviously she’s had quite a weird schedule for the last few years”.
A source revealed Zoe and Norman’s renewed friendship last year, telling MailOnline that during a difficult time, the Praise You DJ had been “very much there for” the radio DJ. The devoted presenter announced to her fans on Radio 2 that she would be stepping away from the microphone temporarily in order to visit her mother Julia, who had just been given a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
Sadly Julia passed away in May – 12 weeks after her diagnosis. speaking with OK! During this time in her life, a source claimed in September that Zoe had found solace in her ex-husband.
