The 67-year-old actress, who has been a familiar face on daytime  TV for over a decade, recently caused a stir in the US after appearing on Andy Cohenâs Watch What Happens Live. During the show, she spoke candidly about her son Matty Healyâs short-lived romance with Taylor Swift, admitting that âbeing Taylorâs mother-in-law was a role Iâm glad I lost,â before clarifying that she had ânothing against her at allâ but found the situation âtricky.â

Denise went on to explain: âYouâre not allowed to say anything, and then Taylor writes a whole album about it. But Matty has taken it all in good grace. Heâs happy now with his fiancĂ©e Gabriella, Gabbriette, who is gorgeous.â
While her comments ruffled some Swifties, insiders claim the actress has been flooded with opportunities in the US. A source told Closer that Welch, who recently visited Matty in Los Angeles to discuss wedding plans, also held ânetwork talks for her own show segment,â adding that âa move to the US is very tempting for Denise â she really misses Matty.â

The source added that Welch feels a strong pull to be by her sonâs side during what is described as âthe peak of his career.â They said: âHeâs getting married, and Denise doesnât want to be pushed out by an entourage. As his mother, she is his confidant and doesnât want to let him down. She is torn between her UK family and the US calling, but family always comes first.â

ITVâs Loose Women has also been hit with sweeping cuts, with episodes reduced to just 30 weeks a year starting in January 2026. According to the insider, âDenise embraces change. She sees that this could be the right moment. She wants stability and, in the golden chapter of her life, wants to choose what fits best. Family is everything, and emotionally she is torn.â
