Jeff Brazier’s ‘really painful’ heartbreak as ex-wife Kate Dwyer goes public with new

Jeff Brazier’s ex-wife Kate Dwyer has gone public with her new relationship.  

The couple announced the end of their seven-year marriage in November last year after privately parting ways that summer. 

A year on and PR executive Kate, 37, shared some loved-up snaps with her boyfriend Elliott on Instagram, as they celebrated her father’s birthday in South Africa. 

In a sweet post, she wrote: ‘You made me believe in everything again.’ 

The news is said to have ‘brought home some really painful feelings’ for Jeff, 47, who had reportedly held onto hope they might one day reconcile. 

The former couple, who married in September 2018 after five years together, first separated in 2022 before reconciling.

However, Kate bringing Elliott to her father’s birthday celebrations proves to Jeff she has moved on for good, say insiders. 

‘Jeff knew that Kate and Elliott had been getting closer, so the relationship wasn’t entirely out of the blue but I don’t think he was prepared for quite such a public hard launch so soon after their split,’ a source told The Sun. 

‘He wants Kate to be happy and he knows she deserves happiness, but it’s still brought home some really painful feelings for him as he tries to move on, it’s one thing knowing your ex might be seeing somebody else, but it’s quite another watching it unfold.

‘He realised it isn’t just a casual fling or something that’s going to blow over. Kate has moved on and she’s not coming back now she’s brought Elliott into her family life.’

The Daily Mail has contacted Jeff’s representative for comment.  

The publication reports Elliott isn’t a total stranger to Jeff as the presenter follows Kate’s new man on social media. 

Jeff confirmed his separation from Kate publicly in November, admitting they had ‘given everything and more’ but realised they ‘couldn’t make it work’. 

He told Instagram followers: ‘I’m so full of love and gratitude for Kate. For all we achieved, for how much we grew, for everything we endured.

‘We separated in the summer and kept it private for as long as we could to give us some time to adjust.’

Despite their formal split, Jeff spoke about his admiration for Kate, calling her ‘a successful career woman who cared unconditionally’ and expressed his pride in what they had built together.

He continued: ‘For 12 years we have been each other’s safe space, each others biggest supporters at a time when our lives have been busy, painful & complex.

‘I’m so proud of how hard we worked, how we kept showing up, we gave everything and more.

‘I’m also so full of respect and admiration for the successful career Kate has built and the way she cared for me unconditionally.’

Jeff is a father to sons Freddy and Bobby from his relationship with former Big Brother contestant Jade Goody.

The TV personality tragically died in March 2009, at the age of 27, after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Jeff recently spoke out for the first time about his son Freddy’s battle with addiction as he said he will ‘never stop trying’ to save him from it. 

Freddy, 22, who is the son of the late Jade Goody, has had a difficult few years battling a cannabis addiction as well as severe mental health struggles, including psychosis. 

At 17 the TV personality was sectioned and has also undergone a stint in rehab and spent his 18th birthday in a psychiatric ward.

And breaking his silence on the toll it has taken on his family, Jeff admitted he ‘couldn’t do anything to stop it’. 

Appearing on Matt Willis’s podcast On The Mend he said: ‘To see your son suffer in that way and not be able to appeal to his better nature to stop that addiction cycle….I couldn’t do anything to stop it. And I tried standing in front of the front door, I tried going to the police.’
