Cat Deeley, the host of This Morning, surprised spectators by wearing a white bikini and soaking up the sun on a Miami beach. The TV personality, who recently ended her 12-year marriage in July 2025, enjoyed some downtime by the ocean with her friend, celebrity hairstylist Ben Skervin.
Unfazed by the world around her, the mother of two leisurely swam in the Florida waters under the radiant sun. Another photo captured her lounging next to Ben, sipping on a cold beverage while engrossed in the novel “The Land of Sweet Forever” by American author Harper Lee.
Ben also posted an Instagram Stories update showing Cat preparing for This Morning on Monday, reviewing her notes during a plane journey. Cat, 49, shared her excitement for the upcoming year after celebrating her first Christmas as a divorcee, highlighting the enjoyable moments she had experienced despite the challenges.
Reflecting on her past year, Cat expressed gratitude for the fun times she had, even after parting ways with her husband. The couple, Cat and Patrick, announced their separation in 2024, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their sons. Speculation about their split arose when Cat did not attend Patrick’s mother’s funeral in Northern Ireland.
Entering 2026 as a single woman, Cat reminisced about the pleasant memories from the past year, including outings with friends and colleagues, such as her This Morning co-host Ben Shephard. The video montage showcased various activities, from trying red light therapy masks with Ben to sharing laughs with McFly stars Harry Judd and Danny Jones.
In one scene, Cat enjoyed a glass of rosé with her mother while on vacation, sporting a stylish black swimsuit. She also celebrated her son James’ 7th birthday and treated him to a Minecraft-themed cake, followed by a trip to a petting farm to see piglets.
Apart from her personal experiences, Cat also highlighted her professional engagements with her This Morning colleagues, such as Alison Hammond and Modern Family star Jesse Tyler. Looking forward to the new year, she expressed optimism for more fun times ahead.
Cat and Patrick had initially moved to the US before relocating back to the UK in 2020. Reflecting on their decision, Cat recalled a frightening incident at a shopping mall that prompted their return to the UK. Despite their separation, the couple remained focused on providing a loving environment for their children.
Ending their marriage amicably in 2024, Cat and Patrick issued a joint statement requesting privacy and emphasizing their ongoing commitment to co-parenting. Their decision to part ways was mutual, with no external factors involved.
