ITV’s Laura Woods loved-up with boyfriend Adam Collard

Laura has been linked with Adam Collard, who once dated Zara McDermott, since last year – and they have appeared very loved-up on social media.

Laura confirmed they were an item in October 2023 on Instagram by uploading a whole carousel of couple-y snaps.

And in April of this year, Adam featured heavily in a bunch of pics she captioned: “Things I love.”

Over the weekend, they announced that they’re starting a family. The couple shared a picture of a baby scan in a cute upload that also featured their pooch. The caption read: “Hey, baby.”

Although comments on the post were turned off, fans found a way to share their congratulations by posting on older posts Laura and Adam had shared.

“I knew you were pregnant when you hosted the Euros!” said one to Laura. “Congratulations to you and Laura on your wonderful news,” said another on one of Adam’s posts. “Congratulations to you both,” another commented.

Laura previously dated former England international prop forward Alex Corbisiero for nearly eight years.

She reportedly said of her split from the rugby player: “It was my decision – it was the right one and I’ve never regretted it. We’d lived in each other’s pockets and breaking up with him felt like coming up for air.

“The next thing for us was probably marriage and having kids. And I do want that one day – I love being in love and I love kids. I’ve prioritised work because I love that too and my ambitions are important to me.”

However, at present, Laura has not extended her family to having children.

Adam, however, has reportedly indicated his desire to be a dad. He said: “I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. I’ve always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?”

Laura Woods’s net worth and eclipsing ‘rival’ Alex Scott

As well as working at ITV, London-born Laura, 37, also hosts boxing and Champions League programming on TNT Sports.

But ITV Sport viewers became very familiar with her as a presenter after she fronted the broadcaster’s coverage of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

As a result, it’s said she’s worth a pretty penny.

According to claims made online, Laura’s presenting and punditry media work may have brought in an estimated £2 million in earnings.

And, as some reports have highlighted, that could mean she has more in the bank than BBC presenter Alex Scott!

That’s because some reports suggest Alex is worth £1.5 million.
