Zoe Ball's Candid Divorce Talk, New Love & Friendship

On March 24, Zoe Ball, the 55-year-old radio presenter, recently got candid about her painful

divorce from ex-husband Norman Cook, better, known as DJ Fatboy Slim after 18 years together.

She opened up on the latest episode of her podcast with Joe Wiley, sharing how tough the

process felt.

The couple married in 1999 and faced a brief split in 2003 after Zoe admitted to an affair,

that they reconciled and stayed together until announcing their permanent separation in

2016.

They shared two kids, a 24-year-old son named Woody, and a 15-year-old daughter named

Nelly.

Zoe reflected that she tried everything to save the marriage, even moving just a couple

doors down temporarily while her mom helped out nearby.

It got too close for comfort after a while, but she stressed that separation's hurt yet

leads to better days ahead, with kids proving incredibly resilient.

These days, Zoe has been dating baff to winning production designer Mathew Weeks for

over a year, following a few other relationships that didn't.

Last, her 87-year-old father, Johnny, shared recently that she and Norman are closer friends

now than during their marriage.

That kind of post-averse harmony shows real growth, especially with families still at

the center.
