After 22 years of marriage, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay are reportedly taking the high road with their separation, insiders reveal. Sources say Tess wants a “quickie divorce” to avoid nasty drama, sky-high legal fees, and public fallout, aiming to salvage the best parts of their marriage while protecting their family.
The beloved TV couple, who share daughters Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 17, have continued to appear together at public events and family celebrations, showing fans that respect and friendship remain central despite their split.
An insider told Closer:
“Both are devoted to making this an utterly amicable divorce… They know it will save them and their friendship in the long term. They’ve got their daughters to think of and want to be the best parents they can be.” 💖
The pair have weathered past scandals — including Vernon’s 2010 sexting apology — and have remained committed to putting family first. Now, as they uncouple, Tess and Vernon are showing that even long-term splits can be handled with class, care, and compassion.
