Susanna Reid, a well-known journalist and TV presenter, is a familiar face on morning shows like BBC Breakfast, Morning Live, and ITV’s Good Morning Britain. In addition to her television work, she also took part in the 11th season of Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional dancer Kevin Clifton in 2013.

Despite her popularity on television and widespread recognition in the UK, Susanna has kept her private life relatively low-key. In 1998, she began a relationship with fellow journalist Dominic Cotton, with whom she shares three children named Sam, Finn, and Jack. The couple first crossed paths while working at the BBC, where Dominic served as a sports presenter.

In 2014, after 16 years together, Susanna and Dominic announced their separation. Despite rumors linking their split to their time on Strictly Come Dancing, Susanna clarified that the show was not the cause of their breakup but described it as a glittering yet separate world.

Following their split, the couple, who never officially married, continued to co-parent their children while residing under the same roof for a period. Susanna emphasized their amicable co-parenting arrangement and shared that they lived separately but harmoniously in the same house.

Reports suggested that Susanna’s hectic schedule, involving commitments to Strictly Come Dancing and BBC Breakfast, contributed to their decision to part ways. Dominic acknowledged the strain Susanna’s busy schedule had put on their relationship but expressed support for her endeavors.

In a candid revelation in 2018, Susanna disclosed that she sensed the end of her relationship with Dominic when she gifted him an unromantic Christmas present—a scenario she humorously recounted on Good Morning Britain.
