England cricket hero Stuart Broad, now a key voice in TNT Sports' Ashes coverage, has enjoyed a storied career marked by legendary performances. Yet, his life off the pitch has often captured similar attention, featuring a series of high-profile relationships before he finally settled down.
Finding Forever with a Pop Star
Stuart Broad is now happily engaged to former Saturdays singer and BBC Radio 1 presenter Mollie King. The couple first dated in 2012, but their initial romance lasted less than a year. They rekindled their relationship in 2019, and it has flourished ever since.
The pair are parents to two children, with their latest addition arriving at the end of 2024. King has offered glimpses into their domestic life, revealing the ordinary challenges they face despite their fame. She recently shared an anecdote about Broad leaving six pairs of shoes in the hallway, blocking the front door, and their playful disagreements over their daughter Annabella's outfits.
A Cricketer's Romantic History
Before his enduring partnership with King, Broad's love life included several notable figures. He dated former Miss England Laura Coleman for ten months in 2007-2008. The pair had actually attended playgroup together as children. Coleman later cited Broad's intense commitment to cricket as the reason for their split.
His longest relationship prior to King was with lingerie model and Zumba instructor Bealey Mitchell. They were together from 2014 until 2017, with sources describing the breakup as a natural conclusion where the romance simply "fizzled out."
In the earlier stages of his career, Broad was linked to actress Kacey Barnfield, known for her role in The Inbetweeners. Barnfield once remarked she would only date a sportsman if he was a cricketer.
Another model, Chloe Mosley, briefly dated Broad. Her life changed unexpectedly when TV cameras spotted her at a cricket match at the Rose Bowl in 2009. This led to a £50,000 modelling contract with an online lingerie firm, which insisted the discovery was genuine and not a publicity stunt.
A Life Beyond the Boundary
Today, at 39, Stuart Broad's focus has shifted from delivering match-winning spells to expert commentary, and from a whirlwind romantic life to the settled joys of family. His journey from the crease to the commentary box mirrors his personal evolution, culminating in a stable home life with Mollie King and their young children, far from the flashbulbs of his earlier relationships.
