Their warm tributes highlighted their continued close involvement in their daughters’ lives. This milestone arrived five months after the couple announced their amicable separation in May.
Kay posted a series of photographs documenting Phoebe’s journey from childhood to adulthood. The collection included recent pictures of the pair together at an NFL game, vintage throwbacks, and images featuring younger sister Amber, 17. The BBC Radio 2 presenter captioned his Instagram post with a proud message: “Happy Birthday PHOEBE KAY!!! 22 Time flies!! A joy watching you become the woman you are!”
Former Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly also published a heartfelt birthday message for her eldest child, expressing deep pride in her character. Daly wrote: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful Phoebe. I’m so incredibly proud of the kind, caring and beautiful soul you are. Your big heart and the love you show others make you truly special. Never stop shining, chasing your dreams and staying true to yourself.”
These family acknowledgements follow a recent holiday in the south of France, where Kay, Daly, and their daughters spent time together. Following their split after 23 years of marriage, the former couple have maintained a strong friendship, prioritizing a united front for their children. Fans flooded the social media posts with supportive comments, praising the family’s continued harmony and mutual respect.
