Gregg and his present wife have been married since 2016 and share a child together. The couple also have a 21-year age gap between them.
Who is Gregg Wallace’s wife?
Gregg Wallace’s current wife is a caterer called Anne-Marie Sterpini. Anne-Marie first reached out to Gregg online to discuss ingredients in 2013.
Anne-Marie, whose parents are Italian, tweeted Gregg asking him if rhubarb really went with duck, after seeing him try the recipe on a TV cooking show. In 2016, the couple tied the knot.
Wallace’s MasterChef co-host, John Torode, served as best man at the wedding, which took place at Hever Castle in Kent. In May 2019, Gregg and Anne-Marie introduced their son, Sid Massimo Wallace, to the world.
Prior to marrying Anne-Marie, Gregg married a biology teacher, Heidi Brown, in 2010. However, this marriage was short-lived as the two separated just 15 months after their wedding.
Before Gregg met Heidi, he was married to a pastry chef called Denise Wallace for five years from 1999 to 2004. The former couple share a son and daughter together.
Gregg married his first wife, Christine, in 1991. But this was the shortest of his marriages as it lasted just six weeks.
In his autobiography, Gregg joked that the marriage was "possibly the shortest marriage in the world". He said he knew it was a mistake even before they married.
How long has Gregg Wallace been on MasterChef?
Gregg Wallace has been a judge on MasterChef since 2005. He is also on the panel for MasterChef: The Professionals and Celebrity MasterChef.
