Polly Gillespie: Why I left

Our Woman's Day columnist reveals why she and Grant split
Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama

Last week, superstar radio duo Polly Gillespie and Grant Kereama shocked their fans with the news that they were separating after 30 years together, announcing the bombshell on air during their breakfast show.

The two also released an official statement on the split full of their usual good humour, confirming that they would remain “the best of friends” – but despite the jokes, the sad news still stung.

In this week’s issue, Woman’s Day columnist Polly reached out to the Kiwi public with a heartfelt message explaining what led to her breakup with Grant.

The bubbly broadcaster says it wasn’t a fight that prompted her to move out, or anything that Grant did.

“Something inside me shifted and I couldn’t find my joy any more,” she writes.

“Life can be tricky and right now, I’m just taking it one day at a time. Grant is being a rock for the family, and I’m doing my best to eat, pray and find the joy again.”
