Kate Garraway has shared some interesting information about her new relationship for the first time.
THE Hello Great Britain The presenter, 59, formed a close bond with her broadcaster friend Liam Halligan, who she has known for two decades, two years after the death of her husband, Derek Draper.
In 2024, the 59-year-old veteran presenter lost her soulmate Derek Draper following his battle with Covid-19.
Speaking at Chelsea Flower Show On Tuesday, Kate said her blossoming relationship with Liam had been a “lovely” distraction from caring for her ailing parents.
‘It’s lovely. I guess so! Basically, we didn’t really have time to set up a real meeting! I don’t want to hurt him! I don’t want to say anything because I’ll bring bad luck to him! I’m going to bring him bad luck. We all love the Irish, don’t we?’, Kate said.
The presenter went on to say that they haven’t had as many dates as she would like because she was “consumed” with caring for her elderly parents.
She said The mirror: “My mom and dad aren’t doing very well, so I was really consumed by that.
“It’s been tricky and I just did it this weekend. Actually my dad was supposed to be with me [at Chelsea] but he’s not doing well enough. I’m very lucky to have both and I know it’s normal [part of ageing].’
Liam recently admitted the pair had become “good friends” after becoming “single, against our will” in recent years.
Kate has been single since the death of her husband Derek Draper in January 2024, following his debilitating four-year battle with covid.
Award-winning journalist and single father Liam, 56, is separated from his partner, journalist Lucy Ward. They have a son and two daughters, Maeve and Ailis, who play with him in his band.
