Julia Morris opens up about the breakdown of her 16-year marriage to Dan Thomas – four years after their split: ‘You can’t play the blame game’
Julia Morris has spoken candidly about her divorce from former spouse Dan Thomas, which occurred four years ago in 2021.
For 16 years, the presenter of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, who is 57 years old, was married to a British comedian, aged 44. Together, they have two daughters, Ruby (aged 18) and Sophie (aged 16).
Currently, the TV host expressed that she feels more content and joyful than ever before, attributing this to her introspective journey after the separation, as reported by TV Week on Monday.
She told the publication, ‘I never expected to feel as happy as I am now when I began this journey four years ago, but I couldn’t be happier now.’
I lead a very personal life, preferring to keep my family offline and maintaining a low profile. However, when it comes to me personally, I strive for honesty.

She commented on the division, saying, “You must experience it yourself; there’s no shortcut. Avoid pointing fingers at others. Instead, take some time for introspection and work on making personal improvements.
Last July, Julia implied during an appearance on The Kyle & Jackie O Show that her separation from Dan was contentious, however, she declined to provide further information regarding the divorce proceedings.
She said, “It seems like there’s often a deeper aspect to this situation [that divided us],” to Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O’ Henderson during that period.
‘It’s not like people just go, “You know what guys, lets just break up.”
I wish to avoid offending Dan or dishonoring his life, and moreover, I don’t want to create a situation that could potentially upset my children by delving too deeply into sensitive matters.
After that, she clarified her intended meaning behind the phrase “Pandora’s box” – a term often symbolizing an action or situation leading to ‘unintended consequences’.
She playfully said, “I’ve spent 75 years in the entertainment industry,” then quipped, “Anyone you catch will be caught by fate elsewhere.
Kyle then pressed Julia about the details behind the break-up.

‘I know you joke and carry on but I feel there’s bitterness there,’ the KIIS FM radio star said.
But Julia would not be drawn out and dismissed Kyle’s question.
‘It was three years ago,’ she said.
‘Quite fresh,’ Kyle responded, before Julia retorted: ‘No I don’t think it’s fresh at all.’
After shocking fans in May 2022, Julia announced that she was getting a divorce, which came after their separation in 2021.
She later confirmed the couple were heading towards a split for some time.
In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly in July 2023, she shared that she’s often expressed the sentiment that our relationship might not last another year.
However, we may not always be moving parallel to each other; our paths might diverge.

She shared that over time, as their relationship deteriorated, she started viewing her husband more like a nuisance or annoyance.
Julia characterized her marital dissolution as “extremely unfortunate,” but she was resolute about demonstrating to their daughters that they should not accept a relationship that brings them unhappiness.
She expressed that her patience was reaching its limit, saying, “This isn’t the kind of life I want for myself. How can this be a good model for my daughters if this is the way to live? I prefer not to.
Julia married British comedian Dan on New Year’s Eve in 2005.
