The Good Morning Britain favourite has been with his rarely-seen partner for over two decades
Good Morning Britain star Richard Arnold has confirmed he’s married his partner.
The presenter originally shared the exciting news on the weekend, sharing a photo of him and his partner Stuart. And on Monday (September 21) Richard appeared on GMB where he opened up about his special day.
“I got spliced!” he told Kate Garraway and Ed Balls on the show. A photo of Richard and Stuart then popped up on the screen, in which Richard said: “That’s myself and my other half Stuart, and now my husband.”
Kate chimed in: “Awww, is that the first time you’ve said that?!” to which Richard said: “It is actually!” Richard then shared that he and Stuart – who have been together 21 years – tied the knot in Hackney Town Hall on Friday (September 18).
For the “low-key” wedding, the couple’s nearest and dearest made an appearance, including his sisters-in-law from Melbourne and Richard’s “besties from the 80s”.
Richard also revealed that the kilt he wore to his wedding was actually a prop from the GMB wardrobe. He said: “That all came from wardrobe. That’s how bad I am at organising these things!”
Kate was left floored at his wedding confession, saying: “What?! Our wardrobe here at Good Morning Britain, goodness me!” Richard said: “It was a prop!” After Richard thanked the GMB team and viewers for their support, Kate said: “Everybody is so thrilled.”
Richard usually keeps his private life out of the spotlight, but he and Stuart have been together since the early 2000s. In 2022, he offered an insight into their London home.
“Even though we live in central London and you hear the occasional siren, it really is an oasis. It’s extraordinarily quiet, really,” he told House Beautiful. And in 2020, Richard gave Stuart a romantic shout-out while on GMB, wishing him a “Happy anniversary” on air.
Meanwhile reacting to Richard’s wedding news, fans shared their support on Instagram.
GMB star Katy Rickitt said: “Congratulations this is beautiful.” Susanna Reid also penned: “THE BIGGEST BESTEST NEWS – massive congratulations and tons of love.”
Good Morning Britain airs Monday to Friday from 6am on ITV1.
