In a deeply personal move, Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway, 58, has made a significant change that’s captured the hearts of many. After the passing of her late husband, Derek Draper, in January 2024, Kate has moved her wedding and engagement rings from her left hand to her right — a symbolic gesture to honor his memory.
This emotional shift follows a transformative experience on Celebrity Traitors last year, where Kate had to temporarily remove her rings for a challenge. Since then, she’s opted to wear them on her right hand daily as a tribute to Derek, who tragically died from complications related to Covid. A representative for Kate told The Sun on Sunday, “Kate has worn the rings on her right hand every day in memory of Derek after removing them for a challenge.”
But that’s not the only change in Kate’s life. Just weeks ago, The Sun reported that Kate has been growing closer to broadcast journalist Liam Halligan, 56. The pair, who have been friends for years, have sparked rumors of a blossoming romance. Liam himself spoke to The Sun, sharing, “We laugh a lot and really enjoy each other’s company. It’s early days, but there’s definitely a spark.”
Kate has also spoken openly about being open to love again, stating, “I wouldn’t want to go through life without romantic love. But I’m not quite there yet.”
The heartfelt decision to move her rings, coupled with the possibility of a new chapter in her personal life, has fans wondering what comes next for Kate. As her journey of healing continues, many are rooting for her happiness in whatever form it may take.
