Tess Daly and Vernon Kay were spotted enjoying each other’s company for the first time since announcing their split last week. The former couple, divorcing after 23 years of marriage, appeared relaxed and friendly while attending the Pub in the Park festival in Marlow, Bucks. Vernon still wore his wedding ring, a subtle reminder of their long partnership.
The pair partied with friends, including actor Will Mellor, danced to Craig David, and posed for selfies with fans. Tess dazzled in a black jumpsuit with sheer sleeves, flaunting both her huge diamond engagement ring and her platinum wedding band, captioning an Instagram snap: “The glam before the go.” Fans flooded the post with support and admiration.
Despite the shock of their split, Tess and Vernon have remained true to their promise to stay “great friends.” Sources reveal they toasted their separation with a glass of champagne and are committed to co-parenting their children while keeping interactions amicable. “They only want the best for each other and their family,” an insider told The Mirror. “There has been no big fallout — just a gradual growing apart and wanting different things.”
The couple also confirmed there were “no other parties involved” in their decision to separate, emphasizing that their focus remains on maintaining dignity, friendship, and privacy during this transition.
