GMB's Susanna Reid ‘cried her heart out’ as son left family home

ok.co.uk:

It's a situation many parents can identify with at this time of year.That feeling of loss and utter devastation when their son or daughter finally moves out of the family home as they head off to university.This year, stars including Myleene Klass and Amanda Holden said they were utterly bereft when their daughters upped sticks for college, and last year Ruth Langsford said she was in tears with her 'heart ripped out' as her son Jack left home.

Back in 2022, Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid opened up to OK! about dealing with the complex emotions surrounding empty nest syndrome.The 53 year old TV star's eldest son Sam, then 20, had left her family home in south London for university and she was left devastated about lthe oss of time she gets to spend with him.

Susanna told us: “He’s gone - he’s gone to uni, but he does come back from time to time, which is a total pleasure. In fact he came back over the weekend without warning - no head’s up, which was absolute bliss.

I absolutely love it. You cry your heart out because you know all that regular time with your children is gone and that’s really sad and then it’s dependent on them and their desire to come home.
