TV star Kirstie Allsopp secretly marries longtime partner Ben Andersen in 'intimate' event, her net worth

The couple wed in an “elegant and low-key” ceremony held in Mayfair, London, earlier this year, The Mail on Sunday reports.

The Location, Location, Location star and her now-husband kept their wedding a closely guarded secret, with most guests unaware of the nuptials until the day of the ceremony. The venue for the intimate event also held special significance, as it was the same location where a memorial service for Kirstie’s late father, Charles Henry Allsopp, 6th Baron Hindlip, had been held.

Confirming the news, Kirstie wrote on Instagram that it was a “huge privilege listening to your son give a speech at your wedding”, which she said was the reason she is looking so happy in the wedding picture she shared of herself wearing a sparkly dress.

She also thanked “some of the lovely people who worked so hard, at such short notice, to make our wedding pretty special” including an event planner, and The Connaught in Mayfair, London, where she stayed while she got her make-up done, the make-up artist and the Grosvenor Chapel’s Reverend Stephen Coleman.

“To marry in the same church that my parents and grandparents married was always my hope and luckily I already know that we did live happily ever after,” she also said.

Kirstie, 52, and Ben, a self-made property tycoon, have been together since 2004. The pair first met at a party for prospective Conservative MP Orlando Fraser. At the time, Ben had recently separated from his ex-wife, Theresa, with whom Kirstie was previously acquainted.

Addressing rumours that she had "stolen" Ben from his former partner, Kirstie told the Evening Standard in 2012:“I did not (steal him). I met Ben at a party for a prospective Tory MP friend of mine, Orlando Fraser. Ben's wife, whom I knew at school and whom he was already separated from, introduced us.”

The couple share two sons, Bay, born in 2006, and Oscar, born in 2008. Kirstie is also stepmother to Ben’s two sons from his previous marriage, Hal and Orion.

Reflecting on her role as a stepmother, Kirstie wrote in the Daily Mail in 2021: “I can honestly say I have put more thought and effort into my relationship with my stepsons than anything else in my life.”

Kirstie had previously hinted that marriage wasn’t a priority for the couple, telling Stylist magazine: “Ben has been married before and so I don’t think he’s in a hurry to do it again. Our children are our commitment to each other.”
