Why did Susanna Reid and Steve Parish split? The Good Morning Britain host has spoken out

SUSANNA Reid has addressed her shock split from Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, using Good Morning Britain as her platform to set the record straight.

Reports over the weekend claimed that the TV presenter and her boyfriend of nine months had called it quits, but what exactly led to their surprise break-up?

Why did Susanna and Steve split?

A source close to Susanna and Steve told the that the downfall of the couple's relationship stemmed from the fact that they didn’t have the time to make it work.

"It's very sad, but they just couldn't make it work. They both work extremely hard and there wasn’t enough time for romance."

It seems that both of their hectic schedules had prevented them from spending quality time together and so evidently the best option for Susanna and Steve was to call it quits.

And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

What has Susanna said about the split?

Susanna was forced to address her split from her millionaire boyfriend on national television, after being quipped by co-host Piers Morgan that she was back on the market.

Morgan, who returned to Good Morning Britain on April 29 following some time off, wasted no time in quizzing Susanna about her split.

After having confirmed that she was no longer together with Parish on the hit ITV daytime show, Piers enquired: "Are you single again? You are aren't you?"

"Yep. Let's not dwell. I'm fine, we're fine, we're very good friends,” Susanna replied. “We were at the match on Saturday."

Reid wasn’t lying either.

On Saturday, Susanna was spotted watching Crystal Palace play a Premier League game, showing clear signs that there’s absolutely no bad blood between the former couple.

If anything, they have managed to remain friends even after having parted ways from one another.

The mother-of-two clapped back at Morgan after she humorously spoke about Arsenal losing their match: “You had an interesting match over the weekend. In fact, you've had three.”

Susanna’s romance with Steve first came to light by The Sun in November 2018, just weeks after the 48-year-old had made it known that she was finally ready to settle down and fall in love again.

The pair dated for nine months.

Their romance wasn’t officially addressed until December, and though the couple has officially parted ways from one another, sources say the two remain on good terms.

At least good enough to catch a football game on the weekend together.
