Deeley and Kielty have a long history and first worked together a decade before they got married.
The two co-presented the British talent competition series Fame Academy, which aired for two seasons between 2002 and 2003.
Fast-forward to September 2012, the couple tied the knot in Rome.
In a 2015 interview on Loose Women, Kielty revealed how his and Deeley's friendship turned romantic thanks to a big gesture he made while Deeley was in Beverly Hills and he was in Northern Ireland at "a little Irish pub" around closing time.
When he texted her for her birthday, Kielty remembered, "She said, 'It's just a shame you're not in L.A. because I'm having a lunch tomorrow.' So I said I'll be there."
He then flew around the world and, when he walked into the Beverly Hills Hotel and said hi, Deeley "fell off the chair and we've been together ever since."
The former couple share two children together.
They welcomed their first son, Milo, in January 2016.
In June 2018, they welcomed their second son, James Patrick.
Between welcoming her two children with Kielty, Deeley opened up about motherhood.
"I've got so much respect for all moms out there that do it. You have to juggle like crazy and have a team around you," she told PEOPLE at the time. "And whether that's your family, Mom and Dad, nanny … whoever it is, you have this team. It takes a tribe — I can totally understand that now."

Tom Holland Plays Coy About James Bond Casting Rumors: 'There's Speculation'
If there's any truth to rumors that Tom Holland is in the running to play James Bond, he's keeping it top-secret for now. As the BAFTA winner returns to one major franchise with Friday's Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser, he recently commented on 'speculation' that he's up for the coveted part in the Denis Villeneuve-helmed update of the franchise. More from Deadline Next James Bond Pic At Amazon MGM Studios To Be Penned By Steven Knight Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Costume Gets Teaser: 'Something Brand New Is Coming' Steven Knight Describes James Bond Writing Gig As "Bucket List" Project In First Interview Since Announcement 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now,' he said in a video on Gordon Ramsay's YouTube. 'We'll get there one day.' Holland added, 'Every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.' Daniel Craig played the iconic role in Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015) and No Time to Die (2021). Following previous Bond stars Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, Craig's successor has not yet been chosen. In June, Amazon MGM Studios officially tapped Villeneuve to direct the next installment, and this week, Steven Knight was announced to write the film amid the studio's new 007 partnership with returning producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. Tanya Lapointe will executive produce. After announcing that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next film in the franchise, Amazon MGM's Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll said at CinemaCon in April that the pair of 'filmmaking legends' is currently in London working on the film. 'We are committed to honoring the legacy of this iconic character, while bringing a fresh, exhilarating new chapter to audiences around the world alongside Amy and David,' said Valenti, head of Film, Streaming and Theatrical. 'They are both in London getting started and couldn't be here tonight, but we wanted to thank them for what we know will be an incredible partnership. Thank you, Amy and David!'

Here Are (Some Of) The Best Artist Shirts Available Now
2025 has been a good year for music – not just for the various standout releases we've been blessed with like Little Simz'sLotus, Kevin Absract'sBlushand Jim Legxacy's recentblack british music,but for the conversations sparked at cultural intersections from Kendrick'shalftime showto Beyonce's best album double at theGrammys, too. We've seen Clipse get back to together anddebuta song at Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show, instant-classic Tiny Desk Concerts from the likes ofDoechiiandBad Bunny, andVybz Kartelis back like he never left. As artists continue to adapt to an ever-evolving industry while navigating the rise of AI, unfavorable streaming contracts and other challenges, tried-and-true revenue streams are making a comeback – namely, tours and merch. In an increasingly digital era, artists and fans alike want a better connection to each other and tangible experiences and merchandise carry more weight than ever. FromBritney x BalenciagaandIce Spice x Mercedes-Benz, to label-made official merch from the likes of UMG'sBravado, it's a good time to be a fan. Because let's be honest, anyone can hit 'Follow' – but are you even a fan if you don't have the t-shirt?! We've rounded up some of favorite pieces of band merch – check them out below in alphabetical order now. Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph's – aka21 Savage– Wikipedia page describes him as a 'British rapper based in the United States.' But while the rapper might have been born in London, he was most definitely ATL-raised – and just in case you needed a reminder, the merch for hisAmerican Dream Tourincludes a t-shirt emblazoned with the Stars and Stripes behind a portrait of the artist staring you Aminé's13 Months of Sunshineliterally sounded like summertime – and it's that same sentiment that guides the album's solo graphic offering. 'Spring, Aminé, Fall, Winter' lands in black, all-caps lettering on a white tee and white tank-top, with a special edition landing for the rapper's one-night-only Brooklyn performance earlier this summer; that one includes an additional graphic on the backside to commemorate the Bad Bunnyis on a roll. His 30-night Puerto Rico residency is projected togenerate over $200 million USDin economic impact – and the accompanying merch is pretty cool The best part aboutBillie Eilish'smerch is that each piece looks like something the singer would actually wear. Eilish loves an oversized jersey, so the leadHit Me Hard And Softdelivery – a silver-hued football jersey – is perfect. Design wise, Eilish's face fronts the jersey, with additional patch-like graphics on the arms and her signatureblohshicon on the back. Another notable piece from the album's merch drop is the layered tour tee, complete with a camouflage long-sleeve underneath a black graphic tee with the tour's dates listed on the backside. (By the way, while we're talking Billie, checkthisout.)Shophere. Blink 182have been rocking since 1992, but found mainstream success in the early 2000s with their catchy pop-punk sound, irreverent humor, and era-defining anthems like 'All the Small Things' and 'What's My Age Again?'. Even if you aren't the biggest Blink fan, there's a good chance you know a word or two from one of their songs – like the eternally relatable line 'work sucks, I know' from their1999 hit single ATSM(sorry, boss… if you're reading this). Well, now you can get it on a t-shirt! And if you consider yourself an OG fan of the band, they've released a tee with the album art from 1995'sCheshire Cat(arguably one of their best).Shophere. Salmon was the color of choice forBon Iver'sSABLE, fABLE, engulfing the album cover and appearing in all of the project's promotional material, static visuals, and external collaborations. Since an all-salmon shirt might be a bit much for some, Justin Vernon made the color a bit more subtle in the album's lead merch, focusing instead on the best part of the album: his lyricism. There is a salmon-colored outline of Vernon in the middle of the long-sleeve T-shirt, but the highlight of the design is the lyrics 'There's a Rythmn' scribbled on the arms and down the Oops… he did it again. With his final collection for Balenciaga,Denma Gvasaliachanneled his inner '90s with this oversized Britney t-shirt. Is there anything more 2025 than aBritney Spears and Balenciagacollab?Shophere. This wasn't something we saw coming, but we're here for it. Thethree-way collabbetween hip-hop OGs Parappa the Rapper and De La Soul, together with Japanese brand WIND AND SEA, has resulted in some of the most wearable band merch we've seen. The collection is quite large – with everything from jackets to pants – but a stand-out for is this long-sleece Death Row Recordsneeds no introduction. Suge Knight's former label – nowownedby Snoop – is behind some of the most iconic rap records of the 1990s, including several of Tupac's. Perfect for fans of the label – past or While unfortunately sold out at the moment onDoechii'sofficial site, we had to include theAlligator Bites Never Healrugby tee, which features an album crest on the chest and an alligator graphic on the back. As one of the fan favorite cuts on the project, 'Denial Is A River' gets its own garment. On the front is a grid of the end clip of the music video with the production information listed underneath; the back aptly reads 'CAMERA CREW' in all It's been four years sinceDMXdied, but the New Yorker impact on East Coast hip-hop will be felt forever. Show your appreciation for the roughest Ryder with this In another unexpected partnership, Ice Spice and Mercedes-Benzlinked upas part of the German car giant's 'Class of Creators' program. From an iced-out CLA to a selection of tees and jerseys, these three pieces stood out for Jamiroquai'scelebrating the 20th anniversary of his iconic albumDynamitethis year. The car-obsessed Londoner is keeping it simple with the merch, though: together the Jamiroquai logo, his unmistakable 'Buffalo Man' character graces an all-black t-shirt and a zip-up The Buick GNX has been a key motif throughoutKendrick Lamar'sGNXalbum as well as its accompanying Grand National Tour with SZA. This theme is instilled more literally in the tour's graphic tees, one of which takes a retro feel with a graffiti-esque GNX graphic and 'Gloria' on top. Elsewhere, a mechanic's work shirt is emulated with 'Gloria Auto Repair and Auto Body Inc.' on one side of the chest and a vintage patch on the other. Additional retro lettering lands on the back of the pastel blue silhouette, Kevin Abstract'ssharp creative direction extends all the way to his graphic tees – and while we don't yet have merch forBlush, we do have quite the selection fromBlanketas well as a standout cobalt blueARIZONA BABYtee. Some ofBlanket's graphics take cues from the tracklist, while others feature the Texas flag (in homage to Abstract's Houston hometown.)Shophere. Kid Cudi'sINSANOvisuals all reveled in vibrant hues, and the accompanying merch followed suit. No stranger to design and creative direction, it's clear Cudi's merch comes from no amateur, with theINSANOgo-around carried by a pair of bright blue and pink crewnecks, imbued with a colorful face graphic in the middle atopINSANOin lime green and lyrics printed along the sleeves and Lil Wayne'ssixthThe Carteralbum dropped in June, along with a world-exclusive merchpop-up in London.

In 2010, the Library of Congress selectedDear Mamafor preservation in the National Recording Registry, making one of his then already most iconic and emotionally resonant tracks a permanent part of U.S. history. In the song, Tupac raps honestly about his mother's problems with drugs – 'And even as a crack fiend, Mama, You always was a black queen, Mama, I finally understand, For a woman it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man' – lyrics that have become cultural touchstones.

Mom Accumulates More Than 30 Tattoos. Now She Says She Regrets Every Single One (Exclusive)
Alexa Locke got her first tattoo at 18 years oldNEED TO KNOW Alexa Locke first began admiring tattoos when she was around 16 So when she turned 18, getting her first tattoo felt like a natural next step Now, 20 years later, the Chico, Calif., resident estimates she has between 25 and 30 tattoos — not including a full sleeve on her left armAlexa Locke first began admiring tattoos at around 16, often noticing them on others and imagining what she might get one day. So when she turned 18, getting her first tattoo felt like a natural next step. Now, 20 years later, the Chico, Calif., resident estimates she has between 25 and 30 tattoos — not including a full sleeve on her left arm. Her ink primarily reflects two classic styles: traditional American and Japanese. But at 37, and now a mother, Locke says her perspective on her tattoos has changed dramatically. "I got the majority of my tattoos very quickly and far too young," Locke tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I started regretting them once I became a mother. The judgment and stereotypes around tattoos are still very strong, which is disheartening — but it's also reality. I hate how everyone's first impression of me is just that I'm a tattooed woman. I'm so much more than that." "Who I was 20 years ago is nowhere near the woman I am today. And when people look at me, they see her — not the person I am now," she continues. "The woman I am today is far more educated, mature and secure in herself. Yes, I hate my tattoos, but I've accepted them because they came from choices I made when I was younger. I understand that I did this to myself, and I understand why I'm judged for it. I don't see myself as a victim, this is simply one of the consequences of my actions." Locke says the social stigma surrounding tattoos has taken a toll. For instance, she's been overlooked for jobs and rejected on the spot simply because of her ink. "That's been a tough pill to swallow, especially knowing it's my own doing," she says. "I hate that everyone's first impression of me is that I'm a tattooed woman. I'm so much more than that. You'll never know how funny I am. You'll never know how kind I am. You'll never know that I'm probably the most nonjudgmental person you'll ever meet." "People always say, 'Why do you care what others think? Just be confident in who you are!' And it's not about confidence — I am confident," she adds. "What's painful is not being given the chance to show people who I really am because my tattoos are all they see." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. A licensed esthetician, Locke enjoys using social media to share her passion for skincare and makeup, along with honest reflections about her life and experiences. Recently, she recorded a video on her balcony candidly sharing her tattoo regrets — never expecting the impact it would have. The video quickly went viral, garnering nearly 7.4 million views and over 20,000 comments. Many viewers, like Locke, expressed regret over their own tattoos. "I've received a lot of love and, surprisingly, a lot of hate," she says. "Millions of people related to me and felt so alone in their regret. I've received so many private messages from people thanking me for speaking out. It's embarrassing. It's humbling. That's why no one talks about this, because no one wants to admit they made a permanent mistake on their body." "Regret is a normal feeling, especially when you've grown and matured into a better version of yourself," she adds. "Most of the hate I've received has come from within the tattoo community. I'll never understand how people can take my story and my feelings about my body as a personal attack on them or their tattoos." Despite the backlash, the positive responses have outweighed the negativity. "I've had a lot of parents and teachers reach out to tell me they plan to show my video to their kids, and that makes me incredibly happy." She adds, "[My friends and family] are all so proud of me! It's a big conversation and hard topic to discuss, especially in front of millions of people to watch and then criticize me for, and they are just so excited and proud of me." Looking back, Locke says that if she could go back in time, she wouldn't get a single tattoo. "I mentioned in my video that I wish someone had told me to wait, and honestly, I'm sure someone did. I probably just didn't listen," she says. "At 18, things go in one ear and out the other. But I wish more people had told me to slow down and really think about it. When you're young, you tend to ignore advice, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying to educate people about the long-term consequences." She adds, "A lot of kids and young adults — myself included — grow up thinking tattoos make you cool. But the truth is, you make yourself cool. Your uniqueness. Your sense of style. Your beautiful red curly hair! Your freckles! The gap between your teeth! Your sense of humor. Tattoos are cool, but they don't make someone cool. If a tattoo is something you truly want, just take the time to think long and hard about it." When it comes to what's next for her tattoos, Locke says she has no plans to cover them up. "For me, it's not about thinking the tattoos are ugly; I actually still think many of them are beautiful. I just don't want them on my body anymore," she says. "I've considered removal. In fact, I've done two sessions on my fingers. It was excruciatingly painful, and it's a very slow process. I've realized that removing these tattoos will take years and be incredibly expensive." "I am in no way shaming the tattoo community or anyone with tattoos, and I never will," she adds. "I am the most nonjudgmental person you will ever meet. I have so many friends and family members with tattoos and they are all amazing human beings. This is also not a message telling people not to get tattoos. Please just think it through and wait until you are older, once you have found yourself and your identity." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
