Celebrity chef John Torode and actress Lisa Faulkner have melted hearts across the nation as they celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary with touching social media tributes that showcased their enduring romance.
The MasterChef judge, 58, shared an intimate black-and-white photograph from their 2019 wedding day, capturing the couple sharing a tender kiss during their ceremony at Aynhoe Park in Northamptonshire.
'6 years married to this one ❤️ Happy anniversary my love,' Torode affectionately wrote alongside the nostalgic image that quickly garnered thousands of likes from their devoted followers.
Not to be outdone in the romance department, former Holby City star Lisa, 52, posted her own heartfelt message alongside a stunning colour photograph from their special day. '6 years today ❤️ Happy anniversary my love… my everything,' she captioned the beautiful shot of the couple beaming with happiness.
A Love Story Forged in Food and Friendship
The couple's journey to marital bliss began not with romance, but with professional collaboration. They first met when Lisa participated in and won Celebrity MasterChef in 2010, though their relationship remained strictly platonic for years.
Their friendship gradually blossomed into romance, and after several years of dating, John proposed during a romantic holiday in Malaysia in 2018. The couple tied the knot the following year in a ceremony that perfectly blended their love for food, family, and each other.
Blended Family Success
Their marriage represents a beautiful blending of families, with John acting as stepfather to Lisa's adopted daughter Billie, 17, from her previous marriage. The couple have often spoken about the importance of family in their lives and frequently share glimpses of their domestic happiness with fans.
Both previously married - Lisa to Chris Coghill and John to Jessica - the couple have found lasting happiness together, proving that sometimes the best relationships begin as friendships.
Fans and celebrity friends flooded the comments sections of both posts with congratulatory messages, praising the couple for their obvious devotion and wishing them many more years of happiness together.
