Kate Garraway Flies to Italy With Liam Halligan

The low-key trip marks a cautious, early-stage step in Garraway’s three-month romance with Halligan following her husband Derek Draper’s 2024 death.

Overview

  • The couple travelled to Italy over the weekend for what outlets report as their first holiday together, a move described as a low-key chance to spend time alone.
  • Liam Halligan has publicly acknowledged their closeness, saying there is "a definite spark" after the pair became romantically involved about three months ago.
  • The relationship grew out of a long acquaintance between Garraway and Halligan, who have known each other for many years and were seen together publicly in March and at the Duchenne Dash in May.
  • Reports say Halligan was on a work trip and invited Garraway to join him, but that detail and other background claims rely on tabloids and unnamed insiders and remain only partly verified.
  • Friends say Garraway is being encouraged to explore dating while remaining cautious, and observers note the couple’s steps are being framed against her sustained bereavement since Derek Draper’s death in January 2024.
