Zoe Ball Reunites With Ex Norman Cook After Daughter Moves In With Her Father

The public reunion underscores their friendly co‑parenting following weeks Cook spent helping their 16‑year‑old prepare for GCSEs.

Overview

  • Zoe Ball posted photos and clips from a friend’s wedding over the weekend showing her next to ex‑husband Norman Cook and their daughter Nelly, who served as a bridesmaid.
  • Ball has said her house feels “so quiet” because 16‑year‑old Nelly has been spending more time living with Cook to stay in one place during her studies.
  • Cook told the Mirror he spent several weeks off the road helping Nelly revise for her GCSEs, a practical reason given for the teenager’s increased time at his home.
  • The wedding images show the family together and living locally, which Ball said makes it easy for her to ‘nip round’ if Nelly needs her, illustrating the parents’ cooperative approach.
  • Ball and Cook, who married in the late 1990s and divorced in 2016, continue to co‑parent their children while Ball’s relationship with Mathieu Weekes and son Woody’s move to Bristol remain part of the family’s public story.
