Cat Deeley Ready to Date After Split

is reportedly open to dating again almost a year after revealing her split from .

The This Morning presenter, 49, announced her divorce in a joint statement in July 2025, confirming they had decided to end their 13-year marriage and would remain united as parents.

The couple sparked speculation they had split when Cat was absent from Patrick's mother's funeral in Ireland in March last year.

But now The Sun reports that she is feeling more ready to get herself back out there and is currently 'living life to the fullest' with her nearest and dearest around her. 

A source told the publication: 'She is open to dating again, definitely, but it has to feel right. She wouldn't go on apps because that's just not her style, well maybe one day, she's not totally closed off.

'She likes the idea of what's out there, a bit of flirting, a bit of fun, without any pressure.'

A representative for Cat has been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.

Cat and Patrick first met in 2002 while they hosted BBC talent show Fame Academy but they did not become an item until ten years later. 

They share two sons Milo, nine, and James, seven.

Previously Cat told how Patrick turned their friendship into a romance by flying all the way from Belfast to Los Angeles, where the Birmingham-born star hosted US show So You Think You Can Dance for a celebratory brunch.

The pair first went public with their relationship in May 2012 and in September the same year, they married during an intimate ceremony in Rome.

The former couple lived in California for a decade before moving back to the UK due to Cat's keenness to be closer to her family.

Last month  returned to for a reunion with some old friends after she left the US over a 'terrifying' gun incident. 

The TV presenter spent 14 years living and working in America fronting shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and hitting red carpet events with Hollywood stars.

Taking to Instagram in April, Cat shared snaps from her trip to L.A. where she reunited with former So You Think You Can Dance producer Jeff Thacker.

She also shared snaps catching up with another friend, Christina Gualazzi.

The This Morning host shared a photo of herself in a grey jumper and black shorts as she soaked up the sun.   

Cat and her now ex husband  started their family whilst living in LA, welcoming their second son James in 2018, but in 2020 they returned to the UK.

Cat has presented This Morning alongside Ben Shephard since 2024, after the ITV show underwent a presenter shakeup following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
