Vernon Kay and Tess Daly separation

Overview

Following the announcement of their separation in May, reports emerged that BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay purchased a £3 million property in Buckinghamshire. The residence, which features a swimming pool and large grounds, is located approximately 15 minutes from the family home shared with Tess Daly for over two decades. Kay is reportedly undergoing renovations on the property and intends to remain close to Daly and their two daughters.

Subsequent reports noted that Tess Daly has been holidaying in Mallorca to ‘slow down, reset and recharge’ with friends. While Daly shared updates from her trip, the separation from Kay after 23 years of marriage remains a central focus, with both parties emphasizing they remain friends and are prioritizing co-parenting.

More recently, the former couple has been seen spending time together as a family, including a holiday in the south of France alongside their daughters, Phoebe and Amber. While fans have reacted supportively to these family outings, reports indicate tension regarding their living arrangements. Although the pair had reportedly planned to live under the same roof for two years to provide stability for their children, Kay’s move to the new property has reportedly left Daly feeling ‘blindsided and vulnerable,’ as the transition deviates from their previously understood arrangement.
