Cat Deeley has revealed she has nanny support while sharing parenting equally with estranged husband Patrick Kielty.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the This Morning presenter described their arrangement as “50-50” after the July 2025 separation.
She said careful planning and outside help are central to co-parenting after the split: “It’s about being as organised as you can possibly be. I have an amazing nanny too.”
Cat also acknowledged the pressure behind that organisation. She said the administration involved can leave her awake during the night.
“Everybody’s doing their best,” she added.
Cat Deeley explains 50-50 co-parenting support
Rather than portraying parenting as a solo effort, Cat described a shared arrangement with practical support.
Cat and Patrick share two sons, whose privacy they requested while announcing their separation.
Cat currently presents ITV’s This Morning alongside Ben Shephard, with the daytime role bringing early starts.
Patrick hosts The Late Late Show and divides his working time between London and Dublin. Cat remains based in London.
Ben joined Cat for the interview and reflected upon his teenage relationship with his own father.
He said adulthood helped him understand how hard his parents had worked for their family. His comments echoed Cat’s point about parents continuing to try.
