As Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid hosts an ITV Tonight special – Susanna Reid: Can Britain Get Talking? – we take a look back at her dating life and how she co-parents her three sons with her ex partner

Susanna Reid is on our screens every morning presenting ITV’s Good Morning Britain, but despite being such a friendly face and open book on television, she is much more reserved about her life away from the cameras.

The 52-year-old has opened up over the years about her dating choices, worries as a mother and how she spends her spare time, as she has said she enjoys her own company and has chosen not to get married.

As she hosts Susanna Reid: Can Britain Get Talking? A Tonight Special on ITV1 at 8.30pm tonight, we take a look back at her dating history and her home life with her two sons.

It is believed that the TV star is currently single and has never been married. She previously opened up about the particular reason she has not chosen to put a ring on her finger. “It was a personal choice. It’s a bit of an old-fashioned idea that children are ‘illegitimate’ if you’re not married. Children are legitimate, whether you’re married or not,” she explained on GMB in 2021.

The mum-of-three was in a relationship with fellow journalist Dominic Cotton between the years of 1998 to 2014. Following her split with Dominic, the pair remained close friends and even continued to live together. Four years later, she started dating Steve Parish, Crystal Palace’s chairman.

At the time, she told The Sun: “I’ve never wanted [marriage]. I’ve never fantasised about the big day. It was never my ambition to be married. I’m very, very happy at the moment, but I don’t want to be married. No, no, no, I think the focus should be on the relationship.” Susanna never openly discussed the details of their relationship, but it is believed the two originally bonded over their shared love of football. The relationship didn’t last in the end, as in April 2019, the two split after Susanna confirmed she was single again.

Day in the life at home

The ITV star presenter shares three sons, Sam, 20, Finn, 19, and Jack, 18, with her ex-partner Dominic. It is thought she lives in Balham, London, with her two youngest children and their black rescue cat Suki, who she often posts on Instagram. Her eldest son flew the nest for university in 2020.

As she revealed on Saturday Kitchen with James Martin, Susanna is a pescatarian. She also told the Mirror that she stopped drinking in 2018 and doesn’t miss it. “I stopped enjoying it,” she said. “I prefer life alcohol-free – it’s tiring and the hangxiety got to me. I don’t feel like I can plough on after pints of Guinness the night before. Spending time with the kids is my release.”
