Gary Speed's widow Louise loses new husband to cancer months after getting married

Gary Speed's widow Louise has faced fresh heartbreak after her second husband died from cancer.

Louise found love with long-time business partner Quinton Bird and the couple got married in December 2021. But he sadly died just six months after their wedding, at age 53, following a two-year battle with brain cancer, the Mirror reported this week.

Quinton had helped Louise cope with her loneliness following Welsh football manager Gary’s tragic death in November 2011. Mother-of-two Louise and Quinton had been business partners for six years, and were both directors of successful new build and renovation company Bow Property Development in Chester.
