Vernon Kay quickly came to the aid of his former spouse Tess Daly following her recent trip to New York with their daughter. Tess, aged 57 and a former host of Strictly Come Dancing, traveled to New York with her daughter Phoebe, sharing various pictures from their excursion on her Instagram account, which boasts a large following.
Earlier this year, the couple, who had been married for 22 years, stunned fans with the announcement of their decision to separate and pursue a divorce. Despite this, Vernon and Tess have managed to maintain a supportive and amicable relationship, as evidenced by Vernon’s affectionate social media comment in response to Tess’s posts.
Upon reuniting with her 21-year-old daughter in the United States, Tess shared snapshots from their adventures in New York, including a visit to the renowned Black Seed Bagels eatery. Tess captioned her post with “NYC with my best girls #HelloGorgeous,” to which Vernon responded with admiration, adding, “What a few days,” accompanied by heart and fire emojis. Phoebe also expressed her joy, saying, “Love you the best time ever.”
In a joint statement released last month, Tess and Vernon emphasized their decision to separate amicably, citing mutual respect and care for each other. They assured that despite the split, they remain close friends and dedicated parents to their children.
According to a source, the divorce proceedings between Vernon and Tess are expected to be uncomplicated, as both parties have managed their finances wisely due to their substantial incomes from the BBC. Vernon, a prominent Radio 2 personality, earns around £395,000 annually, while Tess, in addition to her BBC earnings, receives income from her swimwear brand, NAIA Beach.
Vernon’s father also weighed in on the situation, emphasizing the absence of animosity between Vernon and Tess. He acknowledged the sadness of their separation but highlighted the positive potential for both of them moving forward. Norman expressed his care for Tess and Vernon, emphasizing the importance of ensuring everyone’s well-being, including their grandchildren.
