Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy Parisi went head to head with other celebs on Celebrity Race Across The World on Tuesday in the grand final, we too a look at the presenter’s life offscreen, from her model beau to her previous loves
Homegrown star Kelly Brook had to kiss a few frogs before she found her ‘full package’.
The presenter had previously been engaged four times when she met her husband Jeremy Parisi, who she lovingly describes as ‘funny, cool and a class act’. “It’s difficult in our industry to find someone who looks like Jeremy and has the full package,” said the loved-up star. “I knew straight away that he was different.”
From famous exes to relationships with love rats, not to mention devastating baby loss, Kelly’s love life has been a rollercoaster but she’s now enjoying her happily ever after.
Kelly recently competed on Celebrity Race Across The World with her husband Jeremy which came to an end on Wednesday. Following this, we took a look at her life off-screen.
Famous exes
One of Kelly’s most high-profile relationships was with British actor Jason Statham, 57. The couple met in 1998 and got engaged before parting ways after six years together.
“I’m not the same as I was when we met,” said Kelly of their romance, which began in her late teens. “I’m a lot more complex now – a lot more high maintenance.”
Kelly went onto date Titanic star Billy Zane, getting engaged once more during the course of their four year relationship. The rumoured reason for their split was that the star didn’t want to relocate permanently to Los Angeles, where Billy, 58, was based.
“You don’t go to Hollywood to find the love of your life,” the star said later. “You’re there for different reasons and you might have a it of fun along the way. But no one’s meeting the love of their life in Hollywood. I knew it would be somewhere else.”
Heartbreaking miscarriage
Kelly was with England rugby star Thom Evans, 39, for two years with an engagement rumoured. In April 2011, the former couple heartbreakingly lost a baby at six months, two months after the star announced she was expecting a baby girl.
Kelly suffered another miscarriage later that year, telling Fabulous magazine: “I tried to have a baby but it didn’t work. You can feel quite a bit of failure if you go through miscarriage or feel that it’s quite unfair but as much as it was a real loss and a difficult time, I got through it.”
And the star later made the decision not to try to have children again, saying: “It’s not something I’ve always wanted and I’m fine with it. It’s sad that it happened and obviously I wish it hadn’t gone that way, but there is life after that.”
Bad boys
Kelly dated a team mate of Thom’s – rugby bad boy Danny Cipriani – before and after their time together. Love rat Danny, 36, described his ex as ‘hot and cold’ and admitted he didn’t always treat her well.
First together between 2008 and 2010, Danny and Kelly rekindled their romance in 2012 before they split for good. “She went through my phone and saw lots of messages she probably didn’t enjoy reading,” the sports star confessed in his autobiography. “She just caught me red-handed.”
Another tumultuous relationship of Kelly’s was with former Gladiators star David McIntosh, 38, in 2014, getting engaged after just weeks together but splitting up nine months later. David, who once admitted he couldn’t stop cheating on his partners, was rumoured to have been unfaithful to Kelly.
Marriage
The former glamour model is happily married to French-Italian model and martial arts instructor Jeremy Parisi, 39. They first met flirting on Instagram and married in 2022 after seven years together, living together in London.
“Our relationship is probably the most successful relationships I have because we completely trust each other, we’re with each other all the time,” said Kelly. “We have the same kind of goals. We have a lot in common and he’s very handsome.”
The couple tied the knot in a beautiful villa in the port town of Civitiavecchia, Italy. An outdoor ceremony had been planned but ‘biblical rain’ hit the region for the first time in months, forcing them inside. Kelly later joked to The Secret To podcast with Vicky Pattison that she looked ‘completely stressed with straggly hair’.
But while the former Strictly star’s wedding photos were not what she imagined, marriage is everything and more. “We like to light the candles, sit opposite each other and eat and talk – no phones in the room,” she told Hello magazine.
