Cat Deeley Appears Chic at London Fashion Week Amid Ex-Husband's New Romance
The "This Morning" presenter was seen at the Mulberry show while sources close to her report she is happy about her ex-husband Patrick Kielty's budding relationship.
Cat Deeley cut a stylish figure at the Mulberry show by Christopher Kane during London Fashion Week on Sunday, opting for a white lace top and wide-leg black trousers. She attended the event alongside model Daisy Lowe.
Sources close to Deeley have indicated that she is supportive of her ex-husband, Patrick Kielty, and his new relationship with businesswoman Michelle McManus. "She seems nice, and she is doing me a favour, he's a better person when he's happy," Deeley reportedly told friends. The sources added that Deeley's attitude is, "Good luck to them. At the end of the day, that's the whole point of separating in the first place." They further stated that Deeley is "genuinely happy for him" and believes his happiness is beneficial for both of them, emphasizing that "Cat herself is in a great place and that's where she wants to stay."
Kielty and McManus were reportedly seen on a pub date recently, over a year after he announced his split from Deeley. Kielty, who shares sons Milo, 10, and James, eight, with Deeley, was seen leaving a north London pub with McManus after a three-hour dinner. An insider told The Sun that the couple met over the summer after being introduced by a friend and are in the "early days" of their relationship.
McManus is the owner of the fashion merchandising company Rolling People, which she established in 2011 with her ex-husband. She separated from her husband four years ago. Kielty confirmed his separation from Deeley in a joint statement in July 2025, in which they stated that "no other party" was involved in the breakdown of their marriage and that they would "continue to be united as loving parents to our children."
Kielty's family had previously indicated to the Daily Mail that they were aware of the marriage being over in March 2025, following Deeley's absence from his mother's funeral. Kielty and Deeley first met in 2002 while hosting the BBC series "Fame Academy" and began their romantic relationship a decade later, marrying in Rome in September 2012.
Deeley herself has recently been the subject of romance rumors, having been seen with film industry executive Charlie Coleman at a concert in London in July. Sources have indicated that Deeley is open to dating but prefers not to use dating apps. In recent comments about her single status, Deeley mentioned that she and Kielty co-parent their sons "50-50" and that she has enlisted a nanny to assist with raising their children. She also shared that the administrative aspects of co-parenting can sometimes disrupt her sleep. The former couple have listed their home in Hampstead, north London, for sale at £5.25 million.
