Tess Daly has been seen embracing a fresh chapter of her life as she enjoys a stylish girls’ trip to New York with her daughter Phoebe, just weeks after announcing her split from husband Vernon Kay.
The former Strictly Come Dancing host, 57, shared a series of sun-soaked Instagram snaps showing her making the most of the Manhattan summer, including chic white shorts and relaxed moments overlooking the city skyline with Phoebe, 21, who lives in the US.
Captioning her post, Tess wrote: “NYC with my best girls #HelloGorgeous,” giving fans a glimpse into the emotional but uplifting family getaway.
In a moment that caught attention online, Vernon Kay added a surprisingly warm comment under the post, simply writing: “What a few days,” a subtle but affectionate nod that reinforced reports their separation remains one of the most amicable in British showbiz.
The couple, who confirmed their split after 22 years of marriage, are said to have maintained a respectful and supportive relationship, continuing to prioritise their two daughters, Phoebe and Amber.

Sources suggest there has been no major fallout between the pair, with insiders describing the separation as a gradual growing apart rather than a dramatic breakdown.
Despite their new paths, both Tess and Vernon are reportedly focused on keeping things “friendly and classy,” even sharing moments of mutual support since the announcement.
👉 A new chapter… but still built on respect, family, and quiet affection 💔
