Inside Holly Willoughby’s family life with husband Dan and three kids

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are set to take a break from This Morning, amid recent reports of a ‘dwindling friendship’ between the pair.

It’s been said that the daytime duo will be spending some time apart before stepping away from hosting duties on the ITV show in just over a week’s time.

Holly, 42, and Phil, 61, began presenting the ITV daytime programme together in 2009, and have gone on to hold a professional relationship on our screens for 14 years.

Philip put out a statement last week saying:  ‘As I have said before, Holly is my rock.

‘We’re the best of friends — as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone.’

While she may have had a strong onscreen partnership with Philip over the years, Holly’s also spoken many times about her life offscreen – and recently opened up about how she fell in love with her husband.

Who is she married to and how old are their children?

Who is Holly Willoughby’s husband?

Holly has been married to TV producer Dan Baldwin since 2007.

Dan, 48, has worked on such shows as Celebrity Juice and the Channel 4 game show Virtually Famous, and in 2014 also co-founded his own independent media company, Hungry Bear, together with Juliet Denison and Peter Jones CBE.

In their website bio he writes that his career started at the BBC as a researcher on Live & Kicking.

Holly and Dan met on the kids’ TV show Ministry Of Mayhem in 2004, which Holly co-hosted with Stephen Mulhern, and were together for three years before they tied the knot.

However they were close friends for six months before they began dating, keeping their romance a secret for eight months.

Speaking on her Wylde Moon Instagram page earlier this year, Holly explained: ‘He came in as our new producer and we started this real intense friendship – it was mad actually. There was sort of two other guys that started at the same time, and we just became inseparable.

‘We’d rehearse, and then we’d go out afterwards, and then we’d end up … We were filming down in Maidstone Studios and we used to stay in a hotel there.

‘And you know everybody would go to the bar and then everybody would come back into either my room or their room and we’d all sit round just talking and laughing, and I just remember it just being such a fun time. I always describe that time as sort of my university years, really.’
