Ben Shephard made a rare appearance with his wife Annie at the 2026 Raindance Film Festival in London on Thursday night.
The This Morning star, 51, married the garden and interior designer in 2004 after they met as university students and they have two sons together - sons Sam, 21, and Jack, 19.
The couple looked as loved-up as ever as they attended the world premiere of the documentary Hannah’s Story alongside presenters Kate Garraway and Andrea McLean.
Shephard kept cool in the searing heatwave in the capital in a white linen shirt and white trousers, while Annie looked stylish in a silky green shirt and skirt.
Their appearance comes just months after Shephard marked their 22nd anniversary, calling Annie “the best thing to ever happen to me”.
Sharing a selfie of the couple from the early days of their romance, he wrote: “So 22 yrs ago today @mrsannieshephard said 'oh go on then' and that was that!”
He added: “It might have taken me 9 yrs to realise it and to ask her to marry me but she's still the best thing to happen to me.”
Shephard’s podcast co-host Joel Dommett commented, “This is THE BEST,” whilst his This Morning co-host Cat Deeley posted: “‘Oh go on then’. The Marvelous Mrs Sheps.”
The couple met as students at the University of Birmingham and he proposed in Paris in 2003. They tied the knot on a secluded island in south Devon a year later.
In 2020, Shephard took Annie for a special meal at their wedding venue, The Burgh Island Hotel, and even met the same barman who served them cocktails on their original big day.
"Perfect birthday tea for @mrsannieshephard at the place where it all began and we tied the knot @burghislandhotel so many years ago," he wrote at the time.
"So lovely to catch up with Gary the barman who's been here since time began. Trust me his cocktails are just as good and worth coming back for 17 yrs after we first experienced them! Thanks to all we'll be back."
The Tipping Point presenter recently shared the secret behind their long-lasting marriage.
“Annie was with me way before I got into telly,” he told the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine in January.
“She has been through everything with me, the highs and lows. She's exceptionally patient.”
He added jokingly: “And I'm very patient with new shoes. What I really think is that we were great mates when we got together.”
Annie has built a respected career as an interior designer and recently expanded into garden design.
After studying at the London College of Garden Design, she unveiled her own show garden at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show in 2024.
She regularly gives fans peeks at her family’s stunning gravel garden at their home in Richmond.
