Who Is Tina Daheley's Partner, Kane? Know All About Him As Former Leaves Radio 2 Breakfast Show

Tina Daheley, the journalist widely known for the show, The Radio 2 Breakfast Show, is stepping down as the newsreader. Her departure comes just weeks before Sara Cox steps in as the new permanent host. A while back, Tina announced that after 7 years, she is stepping away from Radio 2 Breakfast. Amid this, people have grown curious to know about Tina’s personal life. Well, we’ve got you covered.

Meet Tina Daheley's longtime partner, Kane William-Smith

Kane William-Smith was born as Kane William Bonner-Smith in March 1986 in the United Kingdom. Kane prefers to keep his personal life private; thus, little is known about his early life. He is a British entrepreneur and is best known as the founder of JokePit, a fast-growing comedy ticketing and marketing platform. Before founding JokePit, he was an investor at That’s You Ltd and The Phantom Card.

Inside Tina Daheley and Kane William-Smith's love story

According to a report by The Mirror, Tina and Kane first crossed paths on holiday in Ibiza in 2012. Later, in 2018, the couple got engaged. Outside wedlock, the pair welcomed a baby girl in 2021. Speaking about the following, in 2023, Tina shared that she and her fiance, Kane, were not married. But her mom would be happy to see her married. Tina was quoted as saying:

"We’re not married, but my mum would be happy about it. She’s like, ‘Put it on Instagram, pretend you’re married.’ I’m probably the first person in my family to have a baby out of wedlock. Honestly, I’d have imagined being disowned for that 10 years ago. Now it’s fine."

Tina Daheley described her partner as 'phenomenal'

During a 2023 conversation, Tina Daheley described her partner, Kane William-Smith, as 'phenomenal.' She shared that as Kane does work from home, it helped her a lot with parenting. Tina mentioned that she left for work when Kane and their little daughter slept. She stated that although she has been managing both motherhood and work, there has been mom’s guilt. Tina was quoted as saying:

"My partner works from home, so that helps. He’s phenomenal. I’ll sneak out in the morning, making as little noise as possible while they’re both asleep. “But being a parent is tough. The hours at work are still brutal, and there’s perpetual mum guilt. People say, ‘Does it get easier?’ No. You’re permanently jet lagged. But it means I’m available for Athena a lot in the day."

Tina Daheley got candid about motherhood

Back in 2023, Tina got candid about motherhood. She shared that after becoming a mom, her priorities changed, and it gave her the confidence to set boundaries. She mentioned that motherhood taught her to balance work and personal life. Tina said, "This sounds corny and clichéd, but becoming a mum has empowered me to say no, because for a decade I just said yes to everything. I’d do Breakfast in the morning, then record a podcast, then do both the 6 pm and 10 pm news, then head to Manchester the next day for more filming. I have a much better work-life balance now. Anything I say no to means I can say yes to something else. We don’t talk enough about how much becoming a parent impacts you, but I wear being a mum very openly."

Tina Daheley steps away from the Radio 2 Breakfast Show

A while back, Tina took to her Instagram handle to announce that she is leaving the Radio 2 Breakfast Show. Tina clarified that she is not leaving Radio 2 and people can hear her between 12 and 2 pm BST. She wished Sara Cox and her team luck for the morning show. An excerpt of Tina’s note can be read as:

"After more than 7 years of early alarm calls on Radio 2, I'm stepping away from Radio 2 Breakfast. It's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to wake up with you every morning, and humbling to have been trusted to deliver the news on the biggest breakfast show in Europe. My breakfast run ends at Radio 2. Wishing Sara and her team the very best of luck. I'll be tuning in while doing the school run. I'm not leaving Radio 2, you'll hear me between 12-2 pm when Jeremy's away, and you'll see me on BBC One after the summer. Beyond that, watch this space…"
