Tess Daly and Vernon Kay continue to demonstrate a strong friendship following their recent separation after 23 years together. The former couple was seen enjoying time together at the Pub in the Park festival in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, just a week after publicly announcing their split.

The pair, who married in 2003 and share two daughters, Phoebe, 22, and Amber, 16, were photographed socializing with friends, including actor Will Mellor, as they sampled food and beverages and danced to music performed by Craig David. Both Daly, 57, and Kay appeared relaxed and in good spirits, with Vernon still wearing his wedding ring and Tess showing hers in photographs shared online.

Observers at the event noted the amicable nature of their interaction, dispelling rumors of discord. An eyewitness described the couple as “super-relaxed” and said they actively engaged with fans, posed for selfies, and enjoyed the festivities together.

Earlier this month, the couple surprised fans by announcing their decision to separate in a joint Instagram statement. They emphasized that the decision was made “after much consideration” and out of “mutual understanding,” with a focus on maintaining their friendship and parental responsibilities. The statement clarified that no third parties were involved in their decision.

Norman Kay, Vernon’s father, also addressed the split, describing it as an amicable parting with no bad feelings. He noted that Vernon is not currently interested in pursuing new relationships and confirmed that the split occurred because the couple had simply “gone in different directions.”

Despite the end of their marriage, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay continue to prioritize their roles as parents and maintain a cordial relationship, signaling a commitment to co-parenting and mutual respect.
