In a touching post that’s melting hearts all over, Tess Daly has shared an adorable throwback snap of her daughter, Phoebe, 21, from her childhood. The picture shows a young Phoebe hugging her mother in matching white tops, their blonde hair flowing, and both beaming at the camera. Tess, 56, captioned the photo, “Phoebe found this pic for Mother’s Day and it genuinely feels like yesterday, and now she’s 21 and living in NYC until summer! Time flies!” 😍
The sweet moment marks a bittersweet milestone for Tess and her husband Vernon Kay, as their daughter, now an independent young woman, continues to carve out her own path in New York City temporarily. 🌆
Tess went on to describe their whirlwind family trip to the Big Apple last month, where they visited Phoebe and spent quality time together. Tess shared a slew of family snapshots, showcasing their sightseeing adventures and special moments with her daughters, Phoebe and Amber, 16.
Tess, looking chic in a white jumper and blue jeans, exuded joy as she strolled through the city with Vernon, exploring museums and making memories. 🏙️ Alongside the post, she expressed her love for NYC, writing: “I ❤️ NYC. Maximised every minute on a whirlwind half-term trip & fell in love with this magical city all over again.” 🌟
Phoebe, who moved to New York in January 2026, has settled in the city for a temporary stay, sharing a snap from a rooftop bar with the caption: “Home for a while…” 🏙️
This milestone comes after Tess and Vernon enjoyed a rare TV appearance together on The One Show, marking their first screen collaboration in nearly 20 years. 🌟
From Tess and Vernon’s early days as rising TV stars on separate channels, to their enduring love story and family life today, their bond has remained a beacon of long-lasting love and support. 💖
