Phillip Schofield came out as gay in 2020 but is still married to wife Stephanie Lowe. Here's a look at their 30-year marriage from their fairytale wedding to secret affair bombshell

Phillip Schofield on relationship with his wife

Phillip Schofield has confirmed he is still married to wife Stephanie Lowe - despite coming out as gay three years ago.

The couple married in March 1993 after meeting while they were both working in TV at the BBC.

At the time Stephanie was a production assistant and it was the start of Phillip's career as a children’s TV presenter.

“You'd have thought someone wouldn't be attracted to a man with a puppet and dodgy jumpers!” he joked at the time.

Fast forward 30 years and the pair admit they remain married and share two daughters, Molly, 30, and Ruby, 27.

But following the revelation Phillip had an affair with a younger male ITV staff member when he worked on This Morning, he confessed “things are not brilliant right now”.

Here we look back at their relationship in full, from a naughty proposal and fairytale wedding to Phillip coming out as gay and Stephanie’s fury at finding out about his affair.

Phillip was 30 when he popped the question to Stephanie, who is two years younger, back in 1992 – and he did it in a very cheeky way.
