!['We've had highs and lows, but I'm proud of my marriage'](https://cdn.magzter.com/1583505918/1722935972/articles/7OSqmKkHY1722941566965/WEVE-HAD-HIGHS-AND-LOWS-BUT-IM-PROUD-OF-MY-MARRIAGE.jpg)
For someone who is just recovering from “some weird non-Covid virus”, TV relationship expert Anna Williamson is looking remarkably fresh-faced when she chats to us from her country home in Hertfordshire.
The 43-year-old, who has been married to Alex Di Pasquale since 2015 and has two children with him — Vincenzo, seven, and Eleanora, four — is clearly excited about the upcoming new series of Celebs Go Dating. She tells us what viewers can expect and reveals why this is one of her favourite series so far.
We’re also keen to delve into Anna’s own love life and she is warm and refreshingly open as she lifts the lid on her family dynamics and why she swears by couples’ therapy…
Hi, Anna. You’re a well-known relationship expert on TV, but is it true you and husband Alex have marriage therapy?
Yes. I’m a relationship coach but even I still have couples’ therapy. My husband and I started it before we got married and we’re passionate about it. We’re human and we recognise the importance of it. I’ve seen it save so many relationships. Heavy caveat — some relationships can’t be saved, but many can. I’m pro love, pro marriage, but I’m also pro divorce in the right circumstances. Relationships are hard work, including my own. None are perfect.
How have you felt that in your own relationship?
