Dermot O’Leary, 53, posed shirtless as he enjoyed a romantic holiday with his rarely-seen wife Dee Koppang, 47, in Italy on SundayDespite keeping the news quiet themselves, Caroline Flack announced on the Xtra Factor that the couple had become engaged.Dermot and the film producer eventually tied the knot a year later at St Mary’s Church in Chiddingstone in September 2012.Dermot has previously opened up about being a father and how becoming a parent has changed his priorities.The television presenter lives in London with his wife Dee and their son Kasper, six.Speaking to The Times, he explained how much energy is required to keep up with his young son, saying it can be ‘full-on’.Dermot said: ‘I turned 50 this year and being a dad to a three-year-old can be full-on. A mate who had twins just before Kasper arrived told me, “Don’t worry about how old you are, just make sure you stay in shape.” And he’s right. ‘I took Kasper to the RAF Museum the other week and it was like an Olympic sprint, dashing from one exhibit to the next. As soon as we came out he said: “Can we go round again?”’ The couple met when they were both working for the same television corporation and started dating in 2002 when they began a nine-year relationship (pictured together in 2023)He went on to describe his love of family time, saying that the daily tasks of changing nappies or playing silly games were the best part.He explained: ‘Dee’s work means that we’re not always together but, those evenings when we are, we make the most of spending proper time together as a family. I can’t understand those parents who don’t enjoy changing nappies or crawling around on the carpet pretending to be a racing car. Isn’t that the absolute joy of being a parent?’Dermot added that his priorities in life had shifted with the birth of his son, from his material needs to how he wants to spend his spare time.He said: ‘Having a child has changed what I want from life and what makes me happy. Do I need another car? The latest gadget? A bit of vintage Van Morrison vinyl? No, forget the material stuff. What I want is to be with the people I love. Being a dad puts the world in perspective.’
