Dermot O’Leary – who is fronting coverage of Soccer Aid today (Sunday, June 9) – once opened up on why he is rarely seen out with his wife.
The 50-year-old This Morning star is married to Dee Koppang. They tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed a son, Kaspar, in 2020.

Soccer Aid star Dermot O’Leary on living a ‘normal life’ with wife Dee
During an interview with The Sun back in 2019, Dermot spoke about wanting to avoid becoming a “public couple” with his wife, Dee.
“Oh god no, that’s my idea of hell. But at the same time I don’t want to hide my wife away! So I’m never going to turn down an invite for something really cool. Some mates of mine, largely in music, have almost become prisoners in their own homes. You can’t live like that,” he said.
“It’s about the neighbourhood you live in. If you embrace the greengrocers, the local store, the dry cleaners, you just become a face and part of a community. And that’s how you have a normal life,” he then continued.
