Patrick Kielty Reveals Taxi Driver’s Skepticism After Split

BREAKING: Patrick Kielty has opened up about a memorable taxi ride that hinted at his relationship troubles with Cat Deeley, following their recent announcement of separation. The couple, who married in 2012 in Rome, revealed last week they have decided to end their marriage, marking a significant shift in their family dynamics.

While speaking on the daytime show Loose Women, Kielty recounted a cheeky encounter with a taxi driver during a spontaneous trip to surprise Deeley in Beverly Hills. After a late-night birthday text to Deeley, Kielty flew from Ireland to the U.S. to celebrate with her. Upon arriving, he shared an amusing moment with the taxi driver who suggested, “Sir, would you like me to wait for you?” indicating his doubt about the romance.

Kielty, now 54, reminisced about the early days of his relationship with Deeley, 48, emphasizing their long-standing friendship before it blossomed into love. He described how a simple birthday message led to a whirlwind trip across the Atlantic, saying, “I texted her happy birthday from a little Irish pub… I will be there.”

The couple has two sons, aged eight and six, and they decided to keep their family unit intact despite their split. In a joint statement to the PA news agency, they confirmed, “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.”

The announcement comes as both have been busy with their careers; Deeley co-hosts This Morning while Kielty hosts a weekly show in Dublin. After moving back to the UK in 2020, they have continued to share parenting responsibilities, emphasizing their commitment to their children.

As fans digest this news, Kielty’s taxi story serves as a light-hearted reminder of the complexities of love and relationships in the public eye. The couple has requested privacy during this time, but their journey continues to resonate with many.
