The Hits radio hosts Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama have confirmed their separation during their breakfast show this morning, wanting their listeners to hear it from them first.
“There’s still a lot of love between us after so many years of marriage. We were hoping to say we’ve ‘consciously uncoupled’ but quickly realised that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had already used that – let’s just run with it and hope they don’t see,” the couple said in a statement.
“We’re happy, loving and the best of friends. We absolutely love working together – even after getting up at 3am for so many years (and there will be many more!) We are still so committed to our family and our listening family.”
Gemma Fordham, NZME Radio Chief Content Officer, said Polly and Grant had been “delivering an incredible show” and it was a testament to the duo’s professionalism.
“Polly and Grant have our absolute backing and support during this difficult time. Their commitment to their show and most importantly their listeners is unparalleled,” she said.
