Gregg Wallace, best known for his role on television shows such as MasterChef, has been married four times. His first marriage was to Christine in 1991, but the relationship only lasted six weeks. He admitted in his autobiography that he knew it was a mistake before they tied the knot. The pair quickly divorced, with Gregg jokingly calling it “possibly the shortest marriage in the world.”
Following his first marriage, Gregg married pastry chef Denise Lovall in 1999. During their time together, they had two children before divorcing in 2004 amid allegations of cheating on Gregg’s part. Denise tragically passed away in 2017 after battling alcoholism. Gregg then married Heidi Brown in 2011, but the marriage lasted only 14 months. Reflecting on their relationship, Heidi mentioned that they both wanted to be the person the other wanted them to be, leading to unhappiness.
Gregg is currently married to his fourth wife, Anne-Marie Sterpini, who is 21 years younger than him. Despite initial concerns about the age gap, Gregg has stated that it has never bothered his wife. The couple got engaged in December 2014 and tied the knot at Hever Castle in Kent in August 2016, with fellow MasterChef judge John Torode as Gregg’s best man. They share a child together named Sid, who Gregg revealed in July 2022 has autism and a global development delay.
In a candid discussion on Loose Women, Gregg shared that they knew about Sid’s issues at a young age, as he was not responding to his name or playing peek-a-boo. Despite the challenges, Gregg expressed his love and support for his son. On Mother’s Day 2024, Gregg shared the heartwarming news that Sid had said his first words, marking a significant milestone in their journey.
Throughout his marriages, Gregg has been candid about his relationships, acknowledging his past mistakes and experiences openly. Despite facing challenges and heartbreak, Gregg remains optimistic and supportive of his loved ones. His journey through multiple marriages and family dynamics reflects the complexities of life and relationships. Through it all, Gregg’s dedication to his family and resilience shine through, showcasing his strength and compassion as a husband and father.
