Darren Kennedy Biography
Darren Kennedy is a dynamic television presenter, entrepreneur, and style expert, known for his vibrant energy and dazzling Irish charm. Originally hailing from Dublin, Kennedy has made his mark across the UK, Ireland, and most recently in the US presenting shows for NBC, the BBC, ITV, and RTÉ. His charismatic on-screen presence saw him compete as a celebrity contestant on Ireland’s "Dancing with the Stars," and he has co-created popular unscripted shows such as "The Unemployables," "Like A Virgin," and "The Secret Life of Celebrity Pets."
Most recently, Kennedy has been a key part of the hosting team for BBC One's primetime series "You Are What You Wear" and is a familiar face on ITV’s "This Morning" and "Lorraine." His groundbreaking documentary, "Gay Daddy," which he created and developed, earned widespread critical acclaim, becoming a "watershed moment" for Irish TV as it tackled the topic of same-sex parenting on primetime television. Kennedy's co-created show "The Unemployables" was nominated for Best New TV Format at the European Broadcasting Union Awards.
In addition to his TV career, Kennedy is a sought-after live events host, having led prestigious events for BAFTA, GQ, British Fashion Council, and London Fashion Week. He has collaborated with top global brands such as Hugo Boss, Grey Goose, Haig Club, Kiehl’s, Nespresso, and Samsung.
In 2018, he launched Kennedy & Co, an award-winning, bestselling skincare and grooming line for men. His entrepreneurial ventures continued in 2023 with the launch of his well-reviewed podcast The Number with Darren Kennedy, which quickly climbed to the top of the Apple Podcasts charts.
A regular contributor to media, Kennedy writes a weekly home interiors column for the Sunday Independent and is a Contributing Editor at The Daily Front Row, where his column, "The Daily Darren," covers the latest in fashion, lifestyle, grooming, and entertainment. He can regularly be seen sharing his stylish tips on "Access Hollywood."
Kennedy holds a first-class honors degree in International Business & Languages and is fluent in French, with conversational proficiency in Spanish and Portuguese. He splits his time between New York and Los Angeles.
