Ray D'Arcy - Personal Life

Personal Life

D'Arcy was previously engaged to marry television presenter Geri Maye only for the wedding to be halted at the last minute. He is currently in a relationship with Jenny Kelly, one of the producers and co-presenters of his radio show. The pair were stalked by the press when D'Arcy publicly exposed their partnership on Saturday Night With Miriam in 2005. Afterwards, D'Arcy was dismissive of the public interest in the relationship:

"I guess once we have actually told people we are together that will be the end of it. Our listeners probably care that we are a couple, but beyond that I don't know why anyone would be interested."

D'Arcy and Kelly have a baby daughter, Kate (born 25 November 2006), together. Jenny went into labour with his baby while watching Pat Kenny come under attack on The Late Late Show. In January 2012, it was announced that D'Arcy and Kelly had become engaged and that Kelly was pregnant with a second child.

In June 2012, D'Arcy and Kelly had their second child, a boy, a first son for Ray, named Tom Michael D'Arcy. Earlier that year, he tripped and broke his nose and had to have surgery.

D'Arcy is now an atheist and does not believe in an afterlife, but attended Mass until he was in his twenties when he became disillusioned by the whole process.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Q: Have you made personal sacrifices for the sake of your career?
    A: Leaving a three-month-old infant in another person’s house for nine hours, five days a week is a personal sacrifice.
    Alice Cort (20th century)

    I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical terms.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
