Kate Garraway and Liam Halligan were spotted together at The Railway Arms pub in Saffron Walden, Essex, at the weekend, according to multiple reports. Garraway has been spotted at Halligan's home quite a few times in recent weeks, sources said. A friend of Kate Garraway described the pair as having formed a close friendship and enjoying each other's company.
Kate Garraway's husband Derek Draper died in January 2024 after a long battle with Covid-19 complications, multiple reports indicate. Garraway is a mother to two children, Darcey and Billie, according to major media. In December, she confessed on a podcast that she felt ready for romance again and was looking for 'any single dads', major media reports.
I've known Kate for many years, as you'd expect, but in recent weeks and months, we've got to know each other a lot better. We've got lots of friends in common. I think there's a definite spark between us. We're both single, both media people, and we've been spending more time together, but it's early days, and we'll see what happens.
Liam Halligan was a close friend of Kate Garraway's late husband Derek Draper, the IDF said. Halligan is a journalist, single father, and former economics and business editor at GB News, according to major media. At The Railway Arms pub, Liam Halligan performed with his band, The Hooligans, Aftonbladet reports.

Garraway's openness about seeking romance has added to the speculation, though she has previously dealt with misinformation about her personal life.
