Is he married? Who is Phil Spencer’s wife?
Contrary to popular opinion, Phil is NOT married to Kirstie Allsopp!
In fact, Phil lives in Hampshire with his Australian wife Fiona.
Phil and wife Fiona married in 2001.
It reportedly took Phil six years to persuade Fiona to move to the UK.
Does he have children?
Phil and wife Fiona have two sons Jake and Ben.
Have Kirstie and Phil ever dated?
Phil playfully calls Kirstie his “other wife” but the pair have never dated.
In 2016, appearing on This Morning, Kirstie laughed off claims she had ever dated her C4 co-star.
She said: “It doesn’t frustrate me, it just amazes me!”
She went on to say that “he’s a really, really nice person” but they were too much like brother and sister to ever be romantically involved.
Kirstie added: “We have the same things at heart but we are very different personalities.
“It sounds awful but he is no more my type than I am his type.”
Well, that’s that cleared up then!
Phil writes on his Instagram account: “Husband, dad, TV presenter and the man that puts up with Kirstie Allsopp.”
Is Location, Location, Location star Kirstie married?
She is.
Kirstie and her husband, property developer Ben Andersen, have two sons together – Bay Atlas and Oscar Hercules.
Kirstie is also stepmother to her partner’s two children, Hal and Orion, from a previous relationship.
The family live in Notting Hill, West London, and have a second home in Devon.
Love It or List It is on Channel 4 tonight (July 31) at 8pm.
