Grace Dent is currently in a relationship with fiancé Charles, who is likely to be waiting for his partner when she returns to the UK. Although Grace prefers to keep Charles out of the public eye, she did discuss him on Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time where she revealed that she “was in Liverpool working, and I was feeling really, really miserable. And then I just got this little message from him saying that he would like to take me for a coffee.” Grace revealed in November 2021 that she was engaged to Charles and has been previously married. She also revealed in Kate Thornton’s podcast that she still has the wedding dress she wore to her Las Vegas nuptials.

She said on the podcast that "I’ve still got the dress that I got married in. I’m not married to him any more. But I’ve still got that dress. We’d just had a very informal marriage, we got married in Vegas, and I’ve still got the dress. I love the dress – this is the problem! I’ve still got that dress and I can’t quite give it away."

In December 2022 Grace Dent announced that her father had died, and her mother had passed away after a cancer battle in February 2021. "I have been through a really difficult time over the last four or five years," she revealed before joining the show.
