'I never wanted to get married, but that all changed'

After four failed engagements, including one to action star Jason Statham and another to Hollywood actor Billy Zane, Kelly Brook is happier than ever thanks to her marriage to Italian model and actor Jeremy Parisi.

The 44-year-old - who's best known for her modelling career and co-hosting the afternoon drive-time show on London's Heart Radio from Monday to Friday - found love with Jeremy in 2014. The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish Italian ceremony in July 2022, now live in London alongside their adorable Cavapoo dog, Teddy.

In our exclusive interview, Kelly opens up on finally meeting the man of her dreams and also reveals how quitting acting after 28 years means she can concentrate on TV projects with her husband. One of which is upcoming ITV eight-part show La Dolce Vita, where the loved-up couple take a break from their hectic London lives to try out a big rural adventure living and working on the Parisi family farm in Arpino, Italy...

Kelly, you must feel settled after struggling for years to meet someone compatible...

It's difficult in our industry to find someone who looks like Jeremy and has the full package. I knew straight away that he was different. He is funny, cool and is a class act. If you met him, you’d get it. He’s charming and he has been a big part of my life. But because he’s no drama, everyone [the press] just left him alone and we’ve been able to get on with it. He finds it strange that in the UK we are a gossipy culture.

Did you ever believe you were going to meet the man of your dreams in Hollywood?
