Does Matthew Robertson Have a New Partner? The 2026 Answer

The former Pet Rescue presenter and Davina McCall’s ex-husband has kept his personal life almost entirely off the record since their 2018 divorce. Here is what is actually known about his relationship status today.

On 16 December 2025, Matthew Robertson turned 57. Eleven days earlier, his former wife Davina McCall had quietly married celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas at a private ceremony in Kent. Robertson marked his own birthday on social media, but not with celebrations. He posted a tribute to an unnamed mountain guide who, in his words, had “saved my life at a very dark time.” He said nothing about romance, nothing about a new relationship, and nothing about Davina.

That post tells you most of what you need to know.

Who Is Matthew Robertson?

Robertson was born on 29 November 1968 in London. He became one of Channel 4’s most recognisable presenters through Pet Rescue, the animal rescue programme he fronted from 1997 to 2003. He also made a brief appearance in Sam’s Game (2001), the short-lived sitcom in which McCall played the lead.

After leaving television, Robertson did not stay in media. He went outdoors, literally. He founded Momentum Adventure in 2005, a bespoke luxury travel company that has counted Gwyneth Paltrow and members of Royal families among its clients. Forbes has called his network of guides the adventure “dream team.” In 2019, he launched Momentum Media, a production company working with brands including Bentley, Musto, and Dunhill.

He operates publicly under the handle @MomentumMatthew, describing himself as an adventurer, writer, producer, and speaker. That is the version of Matthew Robertson that exists today. The television presenter from the late nineties is long gone.

The Marriage, the Vow Renewal, and the Split

Robertson and McCall met in the late 1990s while walking their dogs in West London. They married on 29 June 2000 at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire. Over the next six years they had three children: daughters Holly (born 2001) and Tilly (born 2003), and son Chester (born 2006), all with September birthdays.

In 2015, fifteen years into the marriage, they renewed their vows at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Two years later, the marriage was finished.

McCall announced the separation on 26 November 2017 with a statement that became well known: “I am very sad to say that Matthew and I have separated. Our amazing children are our number one priority.” The divorce was finalised in April 2018. The Sun on Sunday reported a settlement of £2.5 million and confirmed no third party was involved on either side.

McCall later told Good Housekeeping that the two continued living in the same family home for a period after the public announcement, which she described as “awkward.” She said she was in “a weird no-man’s land” until she moved out and started renting her own place.

Why Did They Split?

Speaking to The Times, McCall was candid about what the final years of the marriage actually looked like:

“In the end, we were living completely separate lives. We were hardly talking. We just lived separate lives. And we weren’t happy.”

She confirmed they had attended couples therapy multiple times before reaching the decision to call it. One reported factor, noted by National World, was tension over McCall being the primary breadwinner throughout much of the marriage. McCall has reflected since that she does not consider it a failed relationship. “We were married for 18 years,” she told Good Housekeeping. “We didn’t go the distance, but we did well, and we made three great kids.”

Robertson’s silence on all of this is explained by something the two agreed to openly. On This Morning in 2018, McCall confirmed: “For our kids’ sake, Matthew and I have decided we don’t want to talk about us in the public eye.” Robertson has held to that agreement without exception.

Does Matthew Robertson Have a New Partner?

No. As of April 2026, Matthew Robertson has no confirmed girlfriend or new partner.

There are no verified sightings, no sourced reports, and no announcements from Robertson or anyone connected to him linking him romantically to another person. Outlets that track celebrity relationships and updated their records through 2025 found nothing to report. His social media, his business profiles, and his occasional public appearances carry no indication of a relationship.

Whether he is privately seeing someone is genuinely unknown. What is established is that nothing has been confirmed, and Robertson shows no signs of making that conversation public.

The Claim About Camilla Kerslake

Searches for Matthew Robertson’s dating life have occasionally surfaced a claim that he is, or was, in a relationship with Camilla Kerslake, a British classical soprano.

This is false.

Camilla Kerslake is a real and established figure in British music. She was publicly confirmed to be in a relationship with England rugby captain Chris Robshaw, reported by Hello! magazine in 2015. There is no verified reporting, credible sighting, or sourced claim anywhere in legitimate British or international media that connects her romantically to Robertson. The claim originates from a single website with no attribution. It should be disregarded entirely.

What Matthew Robertson Is Doing in 2026

Robertson’s life post-divorce has been built around three things: his businesses, his advocacy, and his children.

Both Momentum Adventure and Momentum Media remain active. He has climbed Kilimanjaro, trekked in the Himalayas, and worked across some of the world’s most remote locations. He carries over 40,000 followers on Facebook and around 8,000 on Instagram, where his content focuses almost entirely on the outdoors.

He has spoken publicly about the mental health value of time spent in wild places, particularly for men. His connection to that world runs deep. In an interview with luxury travel publication Pursuitist, he described where it began: “As a child, my father and uncle would take me into the Scottish Highlands to climb, explore, and melt away into the wilderness. Those experiences have had a profound impact on the way I live.”

His involvement as a father has been consistent throughout. McCall told Good Housekeeping in 2019: “Matthew is quite hands on, so I have support from him. We share the school runs in the morning, which is really nice.” Holly, Tilly, and Chester are now all adults.

The December 2025 Birthday Post

The most recent public window into Robertson’s state of mind came on 16 December 2025, his 57th birthday, just eleven days after McCall’s wedding to Michael Douglas.

He used the occasion not to celebrate, but to acknowledge someone who helped him through a period he described plainly as “a very dark time.” The unnamed mountain guide, Robertson wrote, had “taught me how to live, love and thrive in the outdoors.” He called him “a silent warrior” and “one of the top mountain guides in the world.” He closed with: “Today is not about me, but to all the amazing, kind and supportive people around me.”

The Daily Mail reported it under the headline: “Davina McCall’s ex-husband Matthew Robertson pays tribute to friend who ‘saved my life at a very dark time’.”

There was no mention of a relationship. There was no mention of Davina.

What Is Matthew Robertson’s Relationship Status Right Now?

While McCall stepped into a public remarriage at the end of 2025, Robertson marked his birthday by quietly thanking the people who helped him through the years that followed their split. That is not the behaviour of someone ready to make a new relationship public. Eight years removed from his divorce, Robertson has made his position clear through sustained and deliberate silence. On the question of a new partner, that silence is, for now, the only answer available.
