Over the years, the pair have face speculation there is a romantic interest between them, which they have denied.
Phil has been married to wife Fiona since 2001 and Kirstie secretly married her property developer partner, Ben Anderson, earlier this year.
But now, Kirstie has admitted the TV hosts don't socialise much outside of work amid speculation of a feud between them after Phil was absent from her nuptials to Ben.
Guests at Kirstie's wedding did not know they were attending a ceremony until the last minute, and Phil was in New Zealand at the time.
"We don't socialise, because we work so much together," Kirstie told The Telegraph.
"But we're very, very fond of each other. There's no one else who's been through this experience. I put Kirstie among the most important people in my life."
They were adamant that they are key players in each other's lives, with Kirstie saying, "in the most significant parts of our lives, we've been there for each other."
"I think Phil was one of the first people I ever told I was pregnant," she said.
Following her impromptu wedding, Kirstie explained why Phil was not there.
"On Thursday, Ben and I were married at The Grosvenor Chapel, where my parents and grandparents were married, and where we celebrated my father's life in June," she told The Mail on Sunday in January.
"We had with us a small group of close friends and family who only heard about the wedding on Monday.

"The flowers, the catering, the order of service and the lighting were all done by people I have worked with over the years who kept it all secret and put together an amazing event at very short notice, though because of that short notice some beloved friends and family couldn't be there, including Phil."
