Ben Shephard and wife Annie are celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary“So 22 years ago today, @mrsannieshephard said, ‘Oh, go on then’ — and that was it! Took me 9 years to ask her, but she’s still the best thing to ever happen to me,” Ben shared. The proud husband also expressed his admiration for his beloved, followed by a playful mention of his football idol, Mark Noble, the former West Ham captain.
The sweet post quickly garnered warm messages from friends, including co-star Cat Deeley, who cheekily referenced their enduring love, and TV personalities like Fearne Cotton and Joel Dommett, who all chimed in with love-heart emojis and support.
Ben and Annie, who tied the knot in 2004 in Salcombe, Devon, met years earlier as students at the University of Birmingham. Their love story has spanned decades, and they share two grown-up sons, Sam and Jack, who, according to Ben, have grown up too fast. The couple, who celebrated their wedding on Burgh Island, recently reflected on how quickly their children are maturing, with Ben fondly recalling the moment Annie first held Jack in her arms.
Fans are wishing the couple continued happiness, as their anniversary post adds another chapter to their heartwarming love story.
